We won't ask ConCourt for extension on contract - SASSA
28 February 2017
Cape Town - The South African Social Security Agency says it will not approach the Constitutional Court to ask for an extension on their illegal contract with CPS, but will rather negotiate a new one.
Sassa project lead Zodwa Mvulane faced a grilling from the standing committee on public accounts on Tuesday over its readiness to take over the social grants scheme for 11 million South Africans.
Former forensic investigator and DA MP Timothy Brauteseth led the charge, asking Mvulane which one of the two options facing them they would take.
"Sassa faces a fork in the road: you've got the court option and you've got the contract extension option. Which one are you taking?" Brauteseth asked.
