Gambling Authority fights charges in marathon lottery case

The Authority denied flouting the Procurement Act, Gambling Act and Gambling Regulations when selecting a local consortium, Grow Mine Africa as the preferred bidder in the national lottery tender.

It was responding to accusations levelled at it by a South African lottery company Ithuba Solutions, which has approached the High Court seeking a review of the Authority’s award decision and an interim interdict of the latter’s negotiations with Grow Mine Africa.
