NLB Blamed for NGO Closure

The National Lotteries Board (NLB) has inflicted a grave injustice on deserving organisations that are at the coalface of alleviating poverty and providing succour to the destitute, according to an article by Redi Thalbi.

Tlhabi states that various branches of Child Welfare, which provides assistance to 65 000 orphans and vulnerable children, have had applications denied owing to an ‘administrative error’.

The Abraham Kriel Home in Johannesburg, which has been looking after orphans since 1902, faces closure - but the NLB and its distribution agencies are happy to allocate money to expensive youth festivals and trade union activities.
