National Lotteries Commission fightback campaign in full swing
2 March 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) notes the ridiculous attempt by a number of so called “NGOs” and “civil society organisations” to march to the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) on Thursday to demand that Trade and Industry Minister, Ebrahim Patel essentially allow the looting within the NLC to continue as is.
There is a long history of shady and dubious organisations coming out of the woodwork under the banner of “NGOs” and “civil society” to support those implicated in corruption and that is exactly what is happening around the NLC.
The fact remains that since 2015, there have been substantiated allegations against the COO of the NLC involving money that has been channeled to friends and family members with little or nothing to show for it.
To date, the NLC has dodged, ducked and dived all accountability while the Minister has seemingly become paralysed to act against corruption within the organisation.
