# Wina Njalo, an initiative of the HCI Foundation, has launched a court action against minister of Trade, Industry, and Competition, Parks Tau, in which it is seeking to compel him to award a new licence to operate the national lottery. Tau recently announced a target date for the announcement of the new bidder, however, Wina Njalo wants this to be made an order by the Pretoria High Court. Wina Njalo claims that Tau was frustrating the process to advance the interests of the present licence holder, Ithuba.
