Pressure mounts on embattled lotteries commission to reveal names of beneficiaries

The DA says it will lay criminal charges against the National Lotteries Commission for allegedly failing to carry out its duties and responsibilities, as well for breaching access to information laws.

Many of the projects funded through the proactive fund are infrastructure projects, including schools and early childhood development facilities. Some commission executives have been accused of channelling multimillion-rand grants to non-profit organisations that involved family and friends. “It is more likely than not that the act requires it. This position is not changed by the Disclosures Act, the Promotion of Access to Information Act, the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, or regulation 8 of the distribution agency regulations,” the opinion states.
