Fronting, irregularities put National Lottery on cancellation

Mmegi is informed that the decision to shelve the project, which was nearing its final stages, follows serious allegations of fronting, contractual irregularities, and discomfort from the new administration with the terms surrounding the awarded licence.

Sources close to the matter revealed that although the Gambling Authority (GA) and Ithuba Botswana had concluded negotiations and were awaiting final clearance from relevant authorities, the launch has now been derailed, with no clear path forward.
