The Minister, officials of the Department of Social Development and the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) have had since September 2013, when the Constitutional Court’s judgment declared the CPS contract invalid, to put in place a plan to either reopen the tender ensuring a proper procurement process, or create the capacity in-house to access, approve and pay almost 18 million grant recipients, many of whom are desperately poor and fall within the following categories of recipients:
- Grants for Older Persons
- Disability Grant
- War Veteran’s Grants
- Foster Care Grant
- Care Dependency Grant
- Child Support Grant
- Grants-in-Aid
- Social Relief of Distress
