Child Support | Public Protector South Africa will tomorrow, Tuesday 10 December, launch public hearings into undue delays and maladministration in processing childcare maintenance. The Gauteng leg starts tomorrow, as shown in the attached poster.
@PublicProtector @The_DSD Image
The public hearings, which will be rolled out in all the 9 provinces at different dates until the end of Jan 2025, seek to give stakeholders and communities an opportunity to express their views relating to the challenges experienced in the processing of child maintenance claims.
In June this year, the Public Protector embarked on an own initiative investigation seeking to establish the root cause of the undue delays in the processing of maintenance claims, with a view to find sustainable solutions to any existing systemic deficiencies.

Accountability | Speaking at the special AGM of the SA Association of Public Accounts Committees (SAAPAC), @PublicProtector Adv. Kholeka Gcaleka said a third of the cases under investigation by the Public Protector SA deal with “conduct failure” as opposed to service failure. Image
A significant portion of such conduct failure cases relate to the procurement activities of government institutions at all levels, she said. Some of irregularities include:
* the procurement of unauthorised medicines from Cuba by the Department of Defence.
* Maladministration and nepotism in the awarding of tenders for the supply and delivery of Personal Protective Equipment by the Limpopo Department of Health;
* the construction of the Mayibuye Primary School on an old sewer line without conducting a wetland study by GDE/ GDID;
