NGOs Lose Funding to ANC – DA

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has called for the National Lotteries Act to be amended in order to rid the lotteries board of perceived political interference.

DA MP, Jacques Smalle, says that his party has noted a growing trend where needy charities are being overlooked by the lotto's board in favour of African National Congress (ANC) aligned organisations.

He states that his party would also ask parliament to change the way board members of the lottery board's fund distributing agencies are being appointed.
