Mike Waters, Shadow Minister of Social Development
The DA welcomes today’s findings by Judge Elias Matojane that the R10 billion tender that was awarded to Cash Paymaster Systems (CPS) on the 17 January 2012 to administer social grants across all nine provinces, was illegal and invalid. To avoid disruptions in the grants process, the tender was not set aside for the moment. A process to have the tender re-awarded will, however, have to be initiated.
