Gambling boss quits after audit reveals irregular spending

# The National Gambling Board’s chief strategic advisor, Caroline Kongwa, has resigned after a forensic audit flagged performance bonuses and international travel as irregular expenditure. According to Ground Up, Kongwa, who earned 3.4-million-rand last year, stepped down earlier this month. In addition, the organisation has been without a board for eleven years, prompting whistleblower concerns over poor governance. Trade Minister Parks Tau says legal advice is being sought following the audit findings. A process to appoint a new board is reportedly underway.
