Ithuba Optimistic About Empowering Locals

Ithuba Botswana, a subsidiary of a well-known Pan African group Ithuba Holdings, is expected to commence negotiations with the Gambling Authority, which will ultimately pave way for the awarding of the National Lottery licence.

This comes after the Gambling Authority Board announced that the negotiations with Grow Mine had proved unsuccessful and a decision had been made to revoke the consortium’s status as the preferred bidder. Grow Mine, a 100% locally owned company, was awarded a 10-year licence to operate the lottery in June last year.
