Treasury steps in to break deadlock between Sapo and Sassa
Treasury DG Dondo Mogajane says the Treasury will facilitate a technical meeting between Sassa and Sapo with the support of the Reserve Bank
The Treasury will take the lead in breaking the deadlock between the South African Post Office (Sapo) and the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) in their efforts to plan grant provisions for 2018. The impasse may have a profound effect on grant provision to more than 17-million beneficiaries for 2018. The contract is reportedly worth R4.6bn to Cash Paymaster Services. The political heads of both entities, Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini and Telecommunications and Postal Services Minister Siyabonga Cwele as well as Treasury director-general Dondo Mogajane met in Parliament on Wednesday evening to update the house on their meetings.
