Durban - Former Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini says she does not owe the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) and is gearing up for a court battle against Sassa.
In an attempt to recover more than R2 million from Dlamini and former chief executive Virginia Petersen, Sassa has approached the North Gauteng High Court, where it is also requesting the court to assist in recovering R1.4 million from Lumka Oliphant.
Sassa wants Dlamini, jointly with Petersen, to pay more than R2 million for costs incurred when they authorised procurement for emergency security protection services.
