💨 Abstract

A leadership crisis at SASSA has escalated, with irregular hirings, suspensions, and ethical complaints. Social Development Minister Sisisi Tolashe is accused of misleading Parliament about Director-General Peter Netshipale’s contract, initially claiming it was for five years but later admitting it was one year. The DA argues this constitutes a serious offense, questioning Tolashe’s fitness for office. Netshipale faces disciplinary action for dishonesty and misconduct.
