AG concerned about NLC's handling of grant funding

--:--
The auditor-general says it remains concerned about the way in which the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) handles grant funding, despite slight improvements in its audit outcome over 2024. On Tuesday, the office told Parliament’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) that grant beneficiaries had also been found wanting and unable to properly account for how they’d spent the money they’d received. The AG’s office has flagged three material irregularities worth R46 million for this financial year. Phemelo speaks to the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts Songezo Zibi.
