Lotteries Commission blows R2.6 million on printing just 70 annual reports
13 June 2023
"This ridiculous spending works out to R37 000 per annual report or R255 per page. This sort of grand scale corruption has come to define the NLC in recent years, which was vigorously defended by the ANC in Parliament."
The handbook on corruption has literally been ripped up by the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) after DA Parliamentary questions revealed the entity blew R2.6 million on printing 70 annual reports for 2022.
This ridiculous spending works out to R37 000 per annual report or R255 per page. This sort of grand scale corruption has come to define the NLC in recent years, which was vigorously defended by the ANC in Parliament.
The DA has sourced costing from a local company that revels this should not have cost more than R200 per booklet. The question is, how was a company allowed to rip off the NLC, inflate costings by 18 500% without any questions being asked and for so long?
