ACDP: NPO issues to be sorted out

The African Christian Democratic Party has called on Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini to make sure that all affected Non-Profit Organisations meet the necessary legislative requirements.

ACDP MP Cheryllyn Dudley said a situation like last year cannot happen, whereby about 36 000 non-profit organisations discovered that their NPO registration status with the department had changed to de-registered or non-complaint.

“This could be disastrous for the country because the absence of NPO could mean increased service delivery challenges for us all in the future, particularly the department.

The grace periods needs to be extended for those who need time to come in line with the necessary legislative requirements.” Dudley added.
