Question NW3005 to the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
14 October 2015 - NW3005
Madisha, Mr WM to ask the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans
Whether she intends to make a statement in Parliament to explain why (a) her department allowed 600 soldiers to remain at home while on the payroll of the SA National Defence Force and (b) nothing was done to speedily resolve the matter in a satisfactory and lawful manner in the intervening period; if not, why not; if so, when will she make a statement on this matter?
Reply:
This matter is the subject of ongoing litigation at present and therefore I will not make a statement on the matter at this stage.
