The Department of Social Development claims a court order obtained by organisations last week 'supersedes' its earlier commitments.
Despite promises by Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi that they would be paid by 24 May, many non-profit organisations across the province say they are yet to receive their subsidies from the provincial Department of Social Development.
Epilepsy Gauteng was one of the organisations that received and signed service-level agreements almost a month ago, yet no funds have been paid to its account. Thoko Budaza, executive director of People Opposing Women Abuse , said she rushed to the department’s offices on Friday after hearing at the last minute that she had to physically collect the service-level agreements.
Meanwhile, some regional offices were telling organisations that they did not need to submit new business plans. On 10 November a WhatsApp voice note from a department official told organisations to submit the applications to the Agriculture department, not the Social Development department .
