Speech by Minister
Rob Davies
19 Apr 2013
The
National
Lotteries
Board (NLB) has improved
significantly and is progressing
for the better. This was the
central message that Minister
Rob Davies conveyed to the
NLB’s Stakeholder Engagement
Indaba event that is held for two
days at the Birchwood Hotel in
Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, Boksburg.
Davies told the gathering that in the past there were very
significanct delays by the Distributing Agencies in processing
applications for lottery funding. ‘Poor relationship between
the agencies and the National Lotteries Board also resulted in
further processes which delayed application. There other time
about R4 mliion was not distributed to the beneficiaries and this
money was the source of the enormous public pressure that
people who were playing the Lotto expected the money to be
distributed to good causes.’
Minister Davies said that the administrative reforms that have
been introduced at the NLB have brought a significance turn
around in the performance of the lotteries. ‘This is reflected in
the fact that at this moment all the funds that were budgeted for
the beneficiaries have been distributed.’
