The board of the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) is coming under increased pressure to act against corruption allegations, with some members of the trade, industry and competition portfolio committee calling for its dissolution last month.
The board is set to appear before the committee again on 5 November to answer questions on various corruption scandals and disciplinary action against staff members.
Democratic Alliance MP Toby Chance said the party would use the meeting to question law enforcement agencies and board members to ensure that the “full extent of corruption at the NLC is uncovered”.
“If it becomes evident that whistleblowers have faced a miscarriage of justice, the DA will be exploring ways in which Mr (Mzukazi) Makatse and other whistleblowers are compensated if their allegations are found to be true,” he said in a statement.
