Johannesburg – Cosatu has expressed concern amid repeated allegations of corruption and poor governance at the National Lotteries Commission.
The federation said the allegations include money allocated to but never received by various developmental projects.
“South Africa and the government cannot afford to treat such allegations lightly given the pandemic of corruption that is consuming both the public and private sector. There is more than R130 billion worth of funds at stake in the NLC,” said Cosatu national spokesperson Sizwe Pamla.
“The Lottery Board is dysfunctional and has failed to build confidence in many South Africans who are already wary of industrial-scale looting,” he said.
In March of this year, candidate for the hotly contested National Lotteries Commission (NLC) Chairpersonship, Dr Muthuhadini Madzivhandila, informed the DA and myself of his intention to seek urgent relief from the High Court if we failed to apologise for a statement, we released on 13 March entitled “DA rejects ANC's recommendation for NLC chairperson”. We released this statement in light of the concerns raised by the Organisation Against Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) in a public submission to the Portfolio Committee on Trade, Industry and Competition.
