Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi told social welfare organisations that budget cuts would be stopped immediately and that the NGOs would be paid by May 15.
After the meeting between the premier and the department, it was agreed that the premier would call an emergency meeting of the provincial budget committee to give the department the required funds to pay to the priority areas.“I hope that you will agree that we need to audit everyone dealing with this work, not with the intention to close but to check the impact and the return on investment on the R2.4bn that we are investing in this sector,” he said.
He added that there was a perception created in the written documents submitted to the NGOs that they were cutting budgets.He acknowledged the confusion and misunderstanding and apologised to NGOs for the anxiety and tension many organisations would have gone through.“Those that felt their jobs would be threatened and that they might be those that their jobs have been cut — they must be reversed and those people should be employed immediately.
