"Yoh yoh yoh yoh yoh yoh yoh yoh yoh yoh yoh!!! A ‘yoh’ for each 1 billion because aowa lena!"

Remarkably, the money was not recovered all at once. NovaNEWS reports that recovery efforts date back to October 2022, when the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) recovered R2.9 million, while the Asset Forfeiture Unit secured a whopping R8 billion.

Briefly News reviewed President Cyril Ramaphosa’s progress report on the day of the broadcast.

The report showed how the recommendations from the Chief Justice Raymond Zondo-led State Capture Commission were translating into results.

However, South Africans remain uneasy about the amount of money being stolen from the state, while disadvantaged South Africans continue to struggle.

South African social media have questions about the funds, including where the money was recovered from. Read some of their comments below:
