The Committee felt that there was a need to interrogate other regulatory institutions, such as the National Lotteries Board, in terms of their capacity to fulfil their mandates and progress made. The Committee will also interrogate the impact of the National Credit Act and the work of the National Credit Regulator on a continuous basis. In the Committee's view, these institutions could play a critical role in minimising unfair practices that disproportionately disadvantage the poor and could positively impact on poverty alleviation efforts.
