Social Grants Crisis: 28 days and counting since DA called for dodging Dlamini to be fired
14 March 2017
It has been 28 days since the DA called on President Zuma to fire the Social Development Minister over her inexcusable mismanagement of the social grants crisis and still no action has been taken to hold her accountable for putting the livelihoods of 17 million South Africans at risk.
Since then it has emerged that:
- SASSA has failed to answer questions put to them by the Constitutional Court regarding social grants and the CPS contract;
- SASSA knew they would not be ready to take over the distribution of social grants as far back as April 2016, a full year ago;
