# RISE Mzansi is intensifying its campaign to reform South Africa’s gambling industry. The party has met with Betway’s CEO Laurence Michel to present its seven-point plan, focusing on issues like advertising and responsible gambling. It is also planning to picket outside the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition in Tshwane on Friday, calling for stricter gambling reforms. RISE Mzansi’s Makashule Gana says the gambling industry made 1.5-trillion-rand last year but paid only 5.8-billion-rand in taxes.
