But Khoza says the allegations are"absolute lies" and that the party is"clutching at straws in order to tarnish the image of the department".
"The exodus comes at a time when the department is already experiencing challenges due to insufficient social workers on the ground. The situation also indicates a major problem within the department and a lack of measures being taken to mitigate ongoing issues," the DA said."Having fewer social workers is set to have a severe impact on service delivery.
"We also shared with the committee that 11 social work practitioners were leaving the employ of the department due to various reasons," Khoza said.
