Sizekhaya promises modern, transparent new era for South Africa's national lottery
The Star
|May 25, 2026
SOUTH Africa's incoming National Lottery operator, Sizekhaya Holdings, has pledged to modernise and expand the country’s lottery system while strengthening transparency, accessibility and public trust ahead of officially taking over operations on 1 June.
Sizekhaya Tapiwa, the CEO of the National Lotteries Commission, says the new era will be marked by transparency and accountability.
The commitment was outlined at a joint media and stakeholder event on Thursday hosted by Sizekhaya and the National Lotteries Commission (NLC), where executives presented their plans for the future of the National Lottery and Sports Pools system.
The event brought together business leaders, retailers, media representatives and stakeholders from across the lottery sector for what was described as the first comprehensive public introduction to Sizekhaya’s leadership team, strategic vision and operational priorities.
Central to the company’s plans is a drive to increase participation in the lottery, create more winners and improve convenience for players through both retail and digital channels. The company also confirmed that live televised lottery draws will return once it assumes operations next month.
