Arthur Mafokate is a kwaito legend, no one can dispute that fact. However, his music has not been the reason that he has been making headlines of late. Initially, it was his questionable affiliation with the ruling party considering that his record label 999 has not released a hit in years.

However, recently, it was the news of the legend’s assets allegedly being frozen by the SIU. As reported on the matter: 

The SIU Twitter account has now become a whistleblower for ZAlebs that are alleged to have been involved in corruption scandals well worth in the ten millions of rands. As such, the latest ZAlebs to have been linked to yet another NLC corruption scandal none other than Mafokate. Details on the allegations are shared as: 

"The SIU investigations in the affairs of the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) have revealed that five non-profit organisations (NPO) received grant funding of approximately R56,3 million for community development projects in South Africa."

As such, the report confirmed that it has gotten an order allowing the unit to “freeze three luxury properties, a plot, and a portion of a farm that are linked to the syphoning of lotteries grant funding meant for community development projects.” 

Specifically, where Mafokate’s involvement in the matter is alleged to have been through his non-profit organisation called the South African Art and Development Association (SAADA). As such, the report goes on to explain that:
 
SAADA applied for grant funding to assist unemployed youth in the poor and rural areas of the country, to impact skills in music, business video, film production dance and overall business of radio in South Africa.

Mafokate is involved as he is touted as the Director of SAADA, which acquired the funds, which subsequently did not go to the suggested projects. But is believed to have gone to the frozen assets aforementioned.

Following a week, Arthur attempted to do damage control recently when he conducted an interview for an unknown podcast, which is on his channel, aimed at addressing the matter and setting the record straight.

However, when Arthur was asked to address the matter, the musician seemed to be in his “acting” pocket as there was over a minute or more of him attempting to cry. This was all happening while the presenter in question attempts to suggest that it was the media behind the report and not it being an official investigation by the SIU. 

Safe to say when the clip landed on social media, it was not the general public dragging Arthur and his alleged fake tears for filth. But instead, it was a number of ZAlebs who took to the timeline to drag Mafokate for what is believed to be his fake acting. 

From Robert Marawa to Penny Lebyane, everybody seemed to have something to say. Most of which was to suggest that just like the public, no one actually believes that Mafokate was targeted by the media. But instead, what is happening is the law finally catching up with him.
