Chairperson, I would like to inform the Deputy Minister that we have found - especially before the elections - ward councillors' signatures on blank application forms for grants and food parcels. I would like to ask the Deputy Minister whether the Minister has been made aware of such irregularities and whether any action has been taken against those involved.
The second part of Question 38 refers to "any form of abuse". I would like the Minister to explain to me how service providers of food parcels are regulated. We have found that there are front companies that buy from suppliers and then sell the food parcels to the SA Social Security Agency, Sassa, at prices that make my little bit of hair stand on end. I would like to know whether action would be taken if we gave the Deputy Minister the names of such service providers. Thank you.
