Terry Pheto continues to be the talk of town after she was accused of defrauding the National Lotteries Commission (NLC).

The money was awarded to an NPO which actress Terry Pheto is the sole director, Sunguti Projects. This is according to Briefly.co.za.
The R1-million is in addition to the R3-million she allegedly received and purchased a house in Bryanston with, which has since been put on auction to recover losses suffered by the National Lottery Commission.

Pheto's NPO also received an additional R1-million intended for another project. This money was from NLC given to a NPO called, Life for Impact in the 21st Century.
According to a report by GroundUp, 'three entities linked to the former National Lotteries Commission chief shared in the looted money' and Pheto's NPO was one of them.
The report states that the 'National Lotteries Commission (NLC) awarded a grant of more than R10-million to a non-profit entity to stage a South African Youth Awards ceremony'.
The money which went to Life for Impact in the 21st Century was shared among people and companies with no links whatsoever to the awards.
According to GroundUP, the NPO did not allocate the R10-million received towards the awards, instead, the awards were organised and covered by the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA).
