Two members of the National Staff of National Loters (NLC) were dismantled after their calls against them The Summary of the Forensic Last year they failed.

Dlamini breasts, the former operating director in office, and Sibonelo Vilakazi, a connection officer with the customer in Durban, appealed to the dismissal conclusions last year, which actually suspended the dismissals. This has led to their continuous suspensions regarding the full payment until the calls against summary dismissal.

Dlamini faced charges regarding the approval of questionable payments, offering dishonest recommendations and abandoning debt, mainly in terms of grant financing processes. He pleaded guilty when he appeared in front of a disciplinary hearing, but was found guilty for most accusations and recommended for summary dismissal.

Later, he appealed to the guilt decision, arguing the procedural and background injustice, but his appeal failed.

“Dlamini faced six charges arising from incorrect conduct during his term in higher positions, including provincial manager: Kwazu-Natal, main manager: Financing operations and COO,” said the special investigation unit (SIU) in a statement Shortly after he was found guilty for four charges last year at his initial discipline meeting.

“His dismissal was completed on September 27, 2024,” said Siu.

Millions of recoils

The Motheo Sports and Entertainment Foundation was distinguished from R9 million NLC in 2021 to build a sports complex in Soweto. The NLC has already paid R6-Milies to Mouna, but stopped the final installment when a site monitoring and evaluation visit revealed that nothing was built on the property, which was used as a dumping land. NLC tries to recover the money.

Meanwhile, Vilakazi was found guilty of accusations related to incorrect conduct, abuse of service and violations of his trusted obligation. He was also found guilty of the conflict of interest because he did not reveal that his wife benefited from the payments made to his company by non-profit who received lottery subsidies.

ground reported in 2023 As over 400 day centers and football clubs paid almost R32 million from their lottery subsidies, between 2019 and 2023, at Zzet Enterprises (Pty) Ltd., a company related to Vilakazi’s wife, Nosipho Zuma and in the accounts related to both.

Special Court subsequently granted an order of conservation against Zzet and also froze the bank accounts in which the lottery money was paid.

SIU investigations disclosure How Vilikazi was approaching day centers and football clubs in KZN to ask them to apply for subsidies. Immediately after receiving the financing, these clubs and centers will then transfer large amounts of money to Zzet’s bank account, as well as other bank accounts related to Zuma and Vilakazi, said Siu.

“The money was paid in accounts by non-profit organizations who received funding from the NLC to improve the conditions of the ordinary South Africans, but (instead) they made their way into bank accounts.”

The NLC funds were used for the purchase of vehicles, including two Toyota amounts and a Toyota Hilux, as well as two “real estate”, according to SIU.

Siu greets the guilty findings

Following their original guilt findings, Siu, who investigated both men, issued a statement receiving their dismissions.

Siu said he sent both men for disciplinary actions by the NLC “following a large investigation” in terms of 2020 The presidential proclamation authorizing her to investigate corruption that involves non-profit lottery subsidies.

“The investigation was focused on the charges of corruption, defective administration and improper use of NLC subsidy funds. He revealed systemic governance failures and personal enrichment to the detriment of public resources ”, said Siu in his November 2024 statement.

“The dismissal of Mr. Vilakazi and Mr. Dlamini is part of the implementation of the results of the investigations and the management of the consequences to correct any crime that he discovered during the investigation.”
