LOTTERY LICENCE COURT BATTLE

KASIBC_AFRICA©®™  ONLINE_EDITOR©®™ LOTTERY LICENCE COURT BATTLE The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has intervened in ongoing litigation concerning the awarding of the fourth National Lottery Licence . This is after every attempt to resolve the matter through Parliament , and the Executive was ignored despite there being clear evidence of several discrepancies in the awarding of the license to the ANC-linked Sizekhaya Holdings .  The intervening challenge comes after months of unexplained delays and cautions around political exposure and capacity with regards to Sizekhaya Holdings , which was announced as the winning bidder. Concerningly, the Minister has provided no clarity on how Sizekhaya met the mandatory requirements, including the requirement that bidders be capable of taking over operations within five months, something Sizekhaya is unable to do, according to evidence filed by the Minister himself.  The EFF is therefore intervening in this existing case precisely ...

KASIBC_AFRICA©®™  ONLINE_EDITOR©®™  ANC GREATER JOHANNESBURG REGION CHAIRPERSON DADA SELLO MORERO The foundations of the African National Congress (ANC) are rooted in our belief system. It is by no accident that the ANC was founded in a holy place guided by the wisdom of our maker. Our freedom united us as a people. Firm grip on the spear, helped us to protect our vulnerable women and children. Voices from communities, called for liberation.  Those who were educated used pen and paper. Those who had a direct line to God used prayer to give us strength just to survive a day. Ordinary individuals used their voices to spread the word of liberation.  113 years of liberation echoing in our minds and this is what brings us here to today. In 1911, Pixley ka Isaka Seme called on Africans to forget their differences of the past and unite together in one national organisation. He said:  “We are one people. These divisions, these jealousies, are the  cause of all o...
