Uthingo Management (Pty) Ltd was the operator of the South African National Lottery until March 2007.
It was formed in 1996 to compete for this right amongst a total of three consortia bidding for the licence.
It is a fully Black Economic Empowerment compliant business, with 70% ownership locally, and the remaining 30% being owned by international players who provided the tools and knowledge to run a lottery effectively.
Uthingo lost the bid to renew its license as the lottery operator to Gidani after a legal battle and negotiations with the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
