NGOs Take Lottery Board to Court

The National Lottery Board has admitted that it is sitting on R6 billion meant for NGOs and charities across the country.

The admission was made in the Cape High Court during an application lodged by two local NGOs after their funding requests had been turned down by the board's distributing agencies.

In their court application, the South Africa Education and Environment Project (SAEP) and Sikhula Sonke asked the court to review and set aside the board's decision not to grant it funding for programmes with children and young adults in Western Cape townships.
