“This instruction, which resulted in R300 million being transferred from the NLC to Treasury, amounts to a violation of the Public Finance Management Act and the Lotteries Act which legislates how the institutions funds ought to be utilised,” “Additional to this, Section 25 of the Lotteries Act is explicit that any surpluses must be carried forward from year to year, to be used in line with the purposes prescribed in the Act.”Mathys said it was “alarming” that the commission had any surpluses despite rejecting so many funding applications.
