South Africa R1,5 Trillion Gambling Crisis 

RISE Mzansi, in its continued campaign to raise a loud alarm about the R1,5-trillion gambling crisis, has sponsored a matter for discussion during a National Assembly Mini-Plenary debate at 10:00 on Friday, 31 October 2025.

This is a significant point in our work to arrest this social and public health crisis. The debate will allow all political parties represented in the National Assembly to state where the stand on this crisis, which is destroying lives and livelihoods.

The recent annual report of the National Gambling Board raises the alarm, stating that gambling operators have increased their gross gambling revenue from R59-billion in 2023/4 to R75-billion in 2024/25, an annual growth of 26%. Moreover, South Africans spent R1,5-trillion during the 2024/25 financial year on gambling activities, this is an increase from the R1,1-trillion wasted in the previous financial year.

RISE Mzansi will also use the debate to make an announcement about our ongoing efforts to agitate for wide-ranging reforms.

Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.
