Arthur Mafokate

Tears of a clown

Being betrayed by your own tears in the midst of a fraud investigation is worse than the crime itself. This is what ANC-connected failed pop star and record label owner Arthur Mafokate, who is accused of looting National Lottery Commission money, had to grapple with this week in a halfbaked, terribly staged and emotional interview. This clown did not end there with his Oscar-worthy performance in the midst of the SIU corruption probe into him and others but went on to vandalise “black excellence” in a Twitter profile using his name in what was nothing but a desperate attempt to galvanise support — a joke of note. Buffoons like this Mampara are the reason black people who rise to the top are often suspected of cutting corners on their way there.
