GROUNDUP: Lotteries boss heads to Supreme Court of Appeal in another attempt to declare corruption probe unlawful

National Lotteries Commission head Thabang Mampane has approached the Supreme Court of Appeal to overturn

Mampane applied for leave to appeal against this ruling, but Judge Neukircher dismissed this attempt with costs earlier this month. Mampane has now launched an application for leave to appeal the entire judgment in the SCA, arguing that it should be granted “because there are great prospects of success”.

This follows the NLC’s refusal of Patel’s request to supply a full list of projects that were proactively funded between 2016 and 2018. The minister subsequently declined to give the NLC a copy of the “dossier”, saying it was an interim report. Mampane, in her application to the SCA, said this was wrong. She said the section of the Lotteries Act relied on by the judge only gave the minister the power to prohibit the payout of a grant if it was likely to be used for an improper and unlawful purpose and only after consulting the Board. “This in no way authorises the minister to commission the type of investigation he did,” she said.

He is very guilty of looting.
