Summary:

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has completed 90% of the second phase in its three-phased National Lotteries Commission (NLC) investigation, worth approximately R1.4 billion in state and NLC losses due to corruption. In its update to Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry, the SIU revealed new findings, including corruption involving award-winning actress Moitheri Pheto and others. The SIU also investigated the South African Youth Movement's grant application for the Presley Chweneyagae Foundation, which was awarded R15 million. The investigation found irregularities, including transfers to personal accounts and companies owned by NLC officials. The SIU has made eight criminal referrals and 11 disciplinary referrals, and plans to recover financial losses through civil litigation and criminal prosecution.
