The Ahmed Khatdrada Foundation is one of several groups that have written an open letter to the President to raise concerns about potential corrupt activities and the handling of the money in government departments and municipalities.
JOHANNESBURG – Civil society organisations have written to President Cyril Ramaphosa calling for transparency in the distribution of COVID-19 relief funds.
President Ramaphosa assured the nation that the R500 billion relief package will not be stolen or misappropriated. The open letter written by organisations including Corruption Watch, My Vote Counts, Open Secrets SA and Unite Behind – adds to fears of some in the country that government's stimulus package may not reach South Africans who need it the most.
The Ahmed Kathrada Foundation’s Nishen Bolten said government should involve civil organisations to help monitor the use of funds and resources.
