NGOs set to suffer consequences as lotto delay drags on
Description
South Africa looks set to go for weeks without the lotto, which could reduce much-needed funding for dozens of social welfare, education, sporting and cultural organisations. Good causes in jeopardy as Lotto delay drags on United Civil Society in Action, representing NGOs, warns effects could be devastating for crucial money flows. This means charities, sports federations, and other good causes that have previously benefited from the lottery’s R1.4bn annual contributions could face funding shortfalls. Nonprofit organizations, particularly those dependent on lottery funding, say the delays threaten their survival. Parks Tau, social development minister, warned in April that funds would dry up by June. Thabiso Tema spoke with Alan Beesley, ActionSA Member of Parliament and Tebogo Sithathu, Chairperson United Civil Society in Action (UCSA)
