*YCLSA condemns the continuous exploitation of the poor by the National lottery*
*14 September 2009* The Young communist league of South Africa (UFasimba) would like to express its utter disgust with the national lottery on finding new ways to exploit and steal from the poor. The National lottery has now launched the Power ball game, over and above the so called games it currently offers. The actual practise of gambling is a conniving method to con the poor in giving them false hope and feeding off their dreams to alleviate themselves from the scourges of poverty. The country is facing a recession and it has hit hard on the working class and the poor of our country, but yet the National lottery fails to be insensitive towards such ailing conditions that face the majority of South Africans. This is a clear indication of their perverse greed and their perpetual ambition of profit maximisation. The government should urgently curb such practises and safe guard the well-being of the poor. The National lottery has ensured that their games are easily accessible in poor communities. It continues to feed off the dreams of those that still find themselves in poverty stricken circumstances. The YCLSA urges the National lottery to abandon its plans of launching this Powerball” game and stop exploiting our people. The ratio between the money it has made thus far and the injection of money towards social spending is not proportionate.
