The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) secures a court order requiring repayment of a R4 million grant linked to the National Lotteries Commission (NLC). The SIU says the Special Tribunal declares the grant unlawful and directs the Mshandukani Foundation, along with its directors, to repay the money. The order also extends to associated entities involved in the transaction, including a company owned by the wife of former NLC Chief Operating Officer (COO) Phillemon Letwaba. The court order further requires repayment with interest, though the specific interest rate and repayment timetable are not detailed in the available reports. The case centers on whether the NLC grant was lawfully awarded and used. By granting the order, the tribunal confirms the SIU’s position that the R4 million lottery-related funding should not be retained. The repayment directive is the main outcome reported, with the parties named as responsible for returning the funds as ordered by the tribunal.
