Call to Establish Inspectorate for Social Assistance
The Democratic Alliance (DA) says the establishment of an Inspectorate for Social Assistance will enable the South African Social Security Agency to better assist impoverished South Africans.
DA social development spokesperson, Patricia Kopane, points out that, "The DA believes that the introduction of a robust Inspectorate is of the utmost priority if the mismanagement and corruption that is rampant in [South African Social Security Agency] SASSA is to be abated."
The Department of Social Development is failing to establish the Inspectorate for Social Assistance, mandated to maintain the integrity of SASSA, despite being provided for in Chapter 4 of the Social Assistance Act, Act 13 of 2004.
