The mansion has state-of-the-art architectural designs. Little is known about the rooms it has. It is a double-storey mansion with giant chandeliers hanging dead from the ceilings. It has an open-plan kitchen. The walls are complicated with massive artefacts that lighten up the rooms. Journalist Cliff Shiko reports that some of the lux properties linked to former lotteries boss and others have also been frozen.
SIU chairman Kaizer Kganyago said the National Prosecuting Authority’s Asset Forfeiture Unit received a preservation order from the Pretoria High Court to solidify three luxury properties, a plot, and a portion of a farm linked to the siphoning of lotteries grant funding meant for community development projects. The properties include Mafokate’s luxury property in Midrand, Johannesburg, with a sale value of R7.5m, and former NLC legal representative Lesley Ramulifho, whose property is in Cape Town in the Western Cape.
