On Wednesday, Sassa said Judge Robert Nugent, who was appointed the arbitrator in the matter, ruled in favour of the agency in all the claims lodged by CPS. Sassa said it welcomed Nugent’s “well thought out awards” in the matter. In 2017, then social development minister Bathabile Dlamini, at the 11th hour, again approached the Court to have the contract extended because Sassa was not in a position to distribute grants itself. In August 2018, an extension was granted until the end of September that year.
One of the claims lodged by CPS at arbitration related to the company believing it was entitled to enroll all beneficiaries on its computerised system, irrespective of whether they were to be paid by it.
