Investigation into Lottery Bidder's Connections to Paul Mashatile
Minister of Trade and Industry Parks Tau has instructed the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) to probe "fresh allegations" of political connections linked to Sizekhaya Holdings, the winner of the fourth lottery licence.
This investigation comes after Ithuba Lottery, an unsuccessful bidder, took Minister Tau to court. The NLC will examine the connections between Sizekhaya consortium and Paul Mashatile.
Minister Tau says this is "not an admission of a flawed process", but rather a demonstration of his commitment to the ongoing integrity of the licence.
Tau had announced in May that the Sizekhaya consortium was the winning bidder to operate the national lotteries for the next eight years.
- Sizekhaya consortium has links to Mashatile, according to Ithuba Lottery.
- Minister Tau instructed the NLC to investigate the allegations.
