NGOs, Free State Govt, in Court Over Subsidies

Welfare organisations and the Free State provincial government are preparing for a court battle this week that will be eagerly watched by NGOs across the country, according to a Volksblad report.

The organisations, represented by Jeremy Gauntlett SC, are demanding more government financial support in the Free State High Court.

Several people in the care of the organisations are allegedly cared for on behalf of the state, but the organisations claim it is impossible to provide basic food on the allowances paid by the government.
