CPS seeks ConCourt permission to apply for future SASSA tenders
9 February 2018
Johannesburg - Cash Paymasters Services (CPS) has filed papers with the Constitutional Court, asking to be allowed it to participate in future SASSA tenders.
In an affidavit submitted to the Constitutional Court, dated February 6, CPS director Herman Kotze argues that the South African Social Security Agency misinterpreted the 2017 court order, which ruled that CPS's contract was invalid.
CPS is now seeking an interlocutory order from the Constitutional Court to change or clarify its order. The order extended SASSA's contract with CPS for an additional year, to allow the agency to find another service provider.
"I respectfully submit that SASSA has misread the March order. Properly understood, it does not preclude CPS's participation in any future tenders issued in relation to the payment of social grants," Kotze said.
