Terry Pheto’s Luxury Spacious Home Up for Auctioning. Towards the end of 2022, Terry Pheto found herself implicated in a hectic fraud scandal.
The multi-award winning actress’ good girl image was tainted when she was pointed out among other eight individuals accused of fraud relating to funding by the National Lotteries Commission. The accused allegedly defrauded the commission, a total of R25 million. The Special Investigating Unit thus obtained a high court preservation order to freeze nine luxury properties, cars, and two restaurants valued at about R25-million, belonging to various individuals. Among the implicated people include lawyers, an accountant, a former commissioner and a CEO for a group of hotels.
After a couple of days of trending on social media, Terry rubbished the rumors that she was involved in any fraud. As someone who holds the law in high regard, Terry expressed that she was shocked to find herself as the subject of a Special Investigating Unit for fraud allegations. She denied any involvement in the alleged scheme that has been reported on.
