Over the last four years, the SIU has investigated over 40 non-government and non-profit organisations for defrauding the lotteries commission with contracts worth R2 billion dating back to 2014.Investigations under the three presidential proclamations are due to be completed at the end of December. Phemelo speaks to journalist at GroundUp, Raymond Joseph who has done extensive reporting on the NLC. We also speak to the Chairperson of the Porfolio Committee on Trade and Industry, Mzwandile Masina.
