South Africa’s Democratic Alliance (DA) party is mobilizing efforts to support the Remote Gambling Bill to overhaul existing fragmented and monologue gambling laws.
Led by Toby Chance, the party’s representative in the National Assembly’s Trade, Industry & Competition Committee, the DA is now looking to leverage its newly-gained power to gain insight into its proposed Remote Gambling Bill that will close its treatment of texts on 8 December.
The party is seeking stakeholder feedback on proposals to amend the National Gambling Amendment Act 2008 and is taking feedback until the end of this week.
The political dominance of the African National Congress (ANC) – which until this year was marked by a 16-year monopolistic rule – has continuously failed to fully implement a comprehensive set of online gambling controls.
