Reportedly, Dimakatso’s company was bought off the shelf in 2018, and subsequently, Terry Pheto’s sister was then appointed one of the directors. Tweeps have also echoed how the dodgy timing of the appointments as well as how the alleged monies were given is raising eyebrows.

The company was bought “off-the-shelf” on 11 July 2018, after which new directors, including Pheto’s sister, were appointed. The grant was paid out sometime between July and 31 March 2019, the end of the NLC’s financial year.
