Shabangu: 'I suspended SASSA tender to replace CPS due to challenges'
2 May 2018
Social Development Minister Susan Shabangu explained to MPs that she had to suspend tender processes to find a new service provider to replace Cash Paymaster Services, due to "challenges" with the tender.
Shabangu appeared before the Portfolio Committee on Social Development on Wednesday to account for the department's annual performance and budget plan.
A SASSA delegation was also there, due to present its own plan later on Wednesday.
The new minister - who was appointed during President Cyril Ramaphosa's Cabinet reshuffle in February said the suspension of the tender, revealed in court papers filed with the Constitutional Court last week was necessary.
