Ithuba Lottery considers legal options as temporary licence decision looms

May 30, 2025

OUTGOING national lottery operator Ithuba Lottery is considering the legal implications of Minister of Trade, Industry, and Competition Parks Tau's decision to award the operating licence to Sizakhaya Holdings.

- BANELE GININDZA

Ithuba stated that this decision disregards the progress made in building a truly home-grown lottery ecosystem that empowers small businesses, drives local job creation, and maximizes revenue for good causes.

In response to the decision announced on Wednesday, Ithuba expressed deep disappointment, stating that it undermines the principles of localisation and inclusive economic growth outlined in the Request for Proposal. As a fully South African-owned and black-empowered operator, Ithuba has invested significantly in developing the first African Central Lottery System, owned and developed for Africa by South Africans.
