At the time of responding to this question, no response was received from Eastern Cape and North West provinces.
No NPOs were closed down in the past five financial years. The department does not subsidise salaries for Social Workers in NPOs but subsidises DSD programmes owned by NPOs that talk to the mandate of DSD.
