Lotto Sponsors Concerts While Charities Suffer
The National Lottery distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) has sponsored millions of rands to small sporting organisations and concerts while charities struggle to get funding.
According to the Sunday Times, small organisations such as the SA Table Tennis board and the Jazz Foundation have raked in millions of rands from Lotto while charities such as the Teddy Bear Clinic and the Johannesburg Children’s Home received less than what they deserved.
The newspaper noted that the chairperson of the National Lottery Board, Professor Alfred Nevhutanda, admitted that the disbursement model is distorted and urged the public to lobby for changes to the legislation governing the way in which funds are allocated.
