Parliament’s Trade, Industry and Competition portfolio committee has finalised a shortlist of eight candidates to be interviewed for the vacant post of chairperson of the board of the National Lotteries Commission.
The vacancy opened up after the 11-year scandal-ridden tenure of former chairperson Alfred Nevhutanda ended on 30 November. Zandile Brown, who represents the Trade, Industry and Competitions minister on the board, will serve as acting chairperson until a permanent appointment is finalised.
A shortlist of eight candidates, which the EFF and ACDP unsuccessfully attempted to extend to ten, has now been drawn up. The list and candidates’ CVs will now be posted on all of Parliament’s social media platforms and members of the public will be able to comment or raise objections up until 8 March.

Discussion over whether Covid-19 vaccines contained aborted foetal DNA came up again this week at a webinar hosted by the Phoenix Settlement Trust and the Gandhi Development Trust on Covid-19.
However, leaders of religious institutions, have welcomed the vaccines and said they would lead by example.
Recently, the National Alliance for Life, a KZN-based pro-life umbrella body for organisations countrywide, claimed studies showed the use of aborted foetal cell lines in the vaccines
Albu van Eeden from Doctors For Life International conducted a presentation with the support of data from the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute in the US. The analysis was authored by the institute’s vice-president and research director, David Prentice, and it’s life sciences director Tara Sander Lee.
