South Africa.- The National Gambling Board (NGB)<\/strong> has continued its responsible gambling awareness campaign in KwaZulu-Natal<\/strong>, with a week-long outreach programme at five TVET college campuses<\/strong> focused on responsible gambling, illegal gambling, and informed decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme, which runs from July 21 to 24, includes visits to uMfolozi TVET College\u2019s Sundumbili Campus <\/strong>and four Elangeni TVET College campuses in Ntuzuma, Pinetown, Mpumalanga, and KwaDabeka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announcing the initiative, the Board said it aims to strengthen communities through education, dialogue, and public participation by engaging directly with students across the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sessions are centred on three topics: responsible gambling, the risks associated with illegal gambling, and helping students make informed life choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest outreach follows another community engagement held on July 18 in Dundee, where the NGB partnered with the KwaZulu-Natal Economic Regulator Authority (KZNERA)<\/strong> and the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation (SARGF)<\/strong>. The organisations met with members of the local community to raise awareness of responsible gambling and responsible drinking as part of a joint public education campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By extending the programme to higher education institutions, the Board aims to equip young adults with the knowledge needed to identify gambling-related risks, avoid illegal gambling operators, and understand the principles of responsible gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NGB noted that it will continue engaging communities through education and public participation as part of its responsible gambling initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
