According to The Citizen, Mashatile's son-in-law, Nceba Nonkwelo, allegedly bought the house for R28.9 million three months after he reportedly bought another one that Mashatile moved into three months ago.

Nonkwelo allegedly provided Mashatile with various properties he could use for his private use. Mashatile's troubles seem to be mounting as he has been implicated in allegations of financial benefits from companies that got tenders from the government.

X, formerly Twitter user @ChrisExcel102i, shared a picture of the house. View it here:
