Outcomes, outputs, output indicators, targets and actual achievements

Significant achievements of targets – the Entity deals with various stakeholders and the Entity has sought to formalise some of these relationships with stakeholders to enhance its ability to achieve its strategic outcomes. In this regard, the Entity finalised a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the National Lotteries Commission which will enable the two entities to collaborate on various matters of mutual interest in regulating the gambling and Lotteries industries. The execution of the MOA will enable the two Entities to address issues such as illegal gambling and lotteries, which will in turn enable the Licensees to operate at maximum capacity thereby creating employment, generate more revenue to the Board and to various other government Entities, as well making more contributions to Community Social Responsibility projects in the respective communities where they operate. The Entities will also be able to collaborate on implementing Corporate Social Responsibility programmes of the respective entities in a manner that will maximise the benefits to the communities in Limpopo Province. The Entity regards women, youth, and persons with disabilities as part of Previously Disadvantaged individuals (PDIs), and as part of its redress programme for PDIs the Entity requires that Licensees comply with the BBBEE Act by prescribing respective BBBEE levels in the licence conditions. Licensees are also expected to comply with the Employment Equity Act as encapsulated in the licence conditions. The majority of Licensees have met the licence conditions on BBBEE levels and Employment Equity Act. The Board has instituted remedial actions against the Licensees that are failing to comply with these licence conditions.
