Today the Minister of Social Development Bathabile Dlamini, together with official from the South African Social Security Agency, addressed the media regarding the outcome of the social grant payout tender of yesterday’s judgement by North Gauteng High Court.

The court ruled that there were irregularities in the Supply Chain Management processes which led to the tender award being declared illegal and invalid.

The tender involves children who are beneficiaries of child support grants, older persons, war veterans and disabled persons. 

The Minister said that she wants to reassure all 10.6 million beneficiaries that the social grants will be paid out without any disruption.
