The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng demands that the Gauteng Department of Social Development (DSD) immediately pay the non-profit organisations (NPOs) their subsidies to stop the suffering of vulnerable people who are solely dependent on essential welfare services provided by these organisations for survival. Many NPOs have not yet received their subsidies, despite the Gauteng Premier, Panyaza Lesufi, committing that the department will start paying the NPOs as of 13 May 2024.
