The corruption-accused National Lotteries Commission is required by law to disclose its list of grant beneficiaries, parliament’s legal advisers told its trade and industry portfolio committee on Wednesday.
However, according to parliament’s legal advice, “The constitutional right to privacy is not an absolute right but may be limited in terms of laws of general application and must be balanced with other rights entrenched in the constitution”. Furthermore, purposeful interpretation of the Lotteries Act shows that a culture of openness and transparency is required.
Many of the projects supported through the proactive fund are infrastructure projects, including schools and early childhood development facilities. Some NLC executives have been accused of channeling multi-million-rand grants to non-profit organisations that involved family and friends.
