South Africa’s biggest forum. Discuss, discover, and connect with thousands of members.
Love the way they're trying to justify this wastage. Seems this is becoming the slush fund for the ANC and hoard![]()
I will follow up your inquiry with the Minister and trust that I will be able to give you some positive feedback as soon as possible.

Dear Mr Smalle,
I came across this article and would like to share my experience with the Lotto with you.
In my private capacity and on a voluntary basis I act as the treasurer for Child Welfare South Africa in East London (CWSA:EL).
In December 2009 CWSA:EL applied for R2.4m from the Lotto. Eventually in June 2011 we were allocated some funds. We were allocated R1.2m out of the R2.4m i.e. 50%.
When this was queried we were told that and I quote "There are so many charities which require assistance that the money had to be shared between them all".
In addition, to date we still have not received this money - we have been waiting now for over 18 months since our application went in. It should also be noted that the delay for payout is not due to any documentation being outstanding from our side.
I find this so hard to understand considering the matters discussed in the article below.
In the meantime, while Lotto appear to be squandering funds, CWSA:EL have really been struggling with keeping it's doors open!
I have also been told by the CWSA:EL director that our issues with the lotto are not an isolated incident as numerous charities have had the same problems.
Thanks.
