NLC chairperson claims people are making money off the beneficiary list.
The National Lotteries Commission has refused to release information on beneficiaries of lottery funding because, says the chairperson, the information is “generating money for journalists”.
“We had to ask the Department of State Security to come to look at the matter. We’re getting reports that our information is generating money for journalists,” he said. Cuthbert asked the NLC why the Commission had not “provided the full beneficiaries list for the 2019 financial year despite the committee requesting” it on several occasions. Committee chair Duma Nkosi had asked NevhutandaBut Nevhutanda maintained that not disclosing the grant beneficiaries was in the beneficiaries’ best interest and within the law.
