The Democratic Alliance has called for Public Protector Advocate Thuli Madonsela to investigate allegations of cronyism and corruption by the South African Social Security Agency CEO Virginia Peterson.

 

This comes after Peterson allegedly employed a family friend as an intern at SASSA.

 

DA MP of Social Development Mike Waters said this is not the first time Peterson has been implicated in an employment scandal.

 

Waters added that corruption has taken a toll in this country and SASSA need to make an example because they are there to help the poor.
