PPF warns CPS over its claims of over a R1bn from Sassa

The Progressive Professionals Forum (PPF) said on Monday it was alarmed about service provider Cash Paymaster Services’ (CPS's) claim of more than R1-billion from the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa). CPS is reportedly claiming R1.3-billion from Sassa over what it has called a breach of the terms of a contract to process social grant payments after Sassa said beneficiaries would now receive their grants through commercial banks.
