THE establishment of an Inspectorate for Social Assistance will enable the South African Social Security Agency to better assist impoverished South Africans, the Democratic Alliance says
"The DA believes that the introduction of a robust Inspectorate is of the utmost priority if the mismanagement and corruption that is rampant in SASSA is to be abated," the party's social development spokesperson Patricia Kopane said.
She said Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini revealed in response to a Parliamentary question on Monday that the Inspectorate for Social Assistance, mandated to maintain the integrity of SASSA, had not yet been established.
This was despite being provided for in Chapter 4 of the Social Assistance Act, Act 13 of 2004.
