NLC tries to block answers on R7 million Carol Bouwer grant
6 February 2021
The Democratic Alliance can reveal through answers to a Parliamentary question, that the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) tried hide answers to the now infamous R7 million grant to well-known media personality, Carol Bouwer.
The grant was made to her NPO “Venalor”, however it is still not known what the grant was for or how it was used.
In an answer to my question, the NLC attempted to hide behind the SIU investigation into the scandal-ridden organisation and stated that only the SIU could determine if the NLC could answer the question and be accountable to Parliament. Of course the logic of this is laughable at best and sinister at worst.
