In a shocking revelation that has sparked public outcry and renewed calls for transparency in government procurement, Arthur Mafokate, renowned South African musician and entrepreneur, has come under scrutiny for allegedly securing tenders worth a staggering R1.8 million from the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation. What makes this revelation even more controversial is the fact that just a year earlier, Mafokate had raised eyebrows after receiving a substantial R2 million in funding from the National Arts Council (NAC). The plot thickens as it emerges that Mafokate’s daughter, Owami, also benefited from the government’s largesse, securing a tender worth over half a million rands through her own company, Queendom Media, from the Department of Arts in 2022.

 

 

 

 

Arthur Mafokate, a household name in the South African music industry, had long been known for his contributions to the arts and his entrepreneurial ventures. However, these recent revelations have cast a shadow over his reputation and raised concerns about the integrity of government tenders and the potential for nepotism and favoritism.

The timing of these tenders is particularly concerning. Mafokate’s company, Roadshow Marketing, allegedly secured the tenders just a year after receiving significant funding from the NAC. The National Arts Council, which is responsible for supporting and promoting arts and culture in South Africa, is now facing severe criticism for its role in allocating funds and potentially turning a blind eye to possible conflicts of interest. Critics argue that such incidents erode public trust in the council and raise questions about its accountability and transparency.

Equally troubling is the revelation that Mafokate’s daughter, Owami, has also been involved in government tenders through her own company, Queendom Media. With tenders worth over R500,000 awarded to her, allegations of preferential treatment and possible nepotism are difficult to ignore. The Department of Arts, tasked with fostering creativity and supporting emerging talent, now faces serious scrutiny for its procurement practices and the perceived lack of fairness in awarding tenders.

As news of these tender awards spread, public outrage has been swift and widespread. Civil society organizations, artists, and concerned citizens are calling for a thorough investigation into these alleged improprieties. Many argue that this is not an isolated incident but rather a symptom of a larger problem within the government procurement system. Calls for greater transparency, accountability, and the establishment of stringent safeguards against corruption have grown louder than ever before.

In response to the mounting pressure, the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation and the Department of Arts have vowed to investigate the tender allocations thoroughly. They have pledged to take appropriate action if any wrongdoing is discovered, emphasizing their commitment to fair and transparent procurement processes.

This latest scandal involving the Mafokate family underscores the urgent need for comprehensive reforms in government procurement practices. The potential for corruption and favoritism threatens not only the public’s trust but also the growth and development of the arts and culture sector. As artists and creative individuals strive to make a living and contribute to society, it is essential that they operate in a fair and equitable environment where opportunities are not compromised by nepotism or personal connections.

Ntswaki might not make a mistake of falling pregnant but she still does the unthinkable to the Maputla family. Her father is surprised to find out that Ntswaki has been causing problems and not listening to Meikei since she arrived in

 

Meikie has been protecting Ntswaki all this time, viewers will not be surprised to learn that John Maputla is actually the one who called this man. Meikie and John will fight over this because Meikie will want to give Ntswaki one more chance again.

I think Ntswaki should be taken back where she comes from. Even if they take her to boarding school where she will not be able to go anywhere it will work. Meikie has always been over protective over her kids and they turn out to be bad people, and killing other people as well. Ntswaki must go.
