Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Social Development

Whether her department provided any support to disadvantaged learners of a certain high school (name furnished) in Johannesburg in the (a) 2015 and (b) 2016 academic years; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what (i) was the nature of the support and (ii) are the relevant details in each of the specified academic years?

Reply:

(a), (b) No.

(i) and (ii) The reason therefore is that neither the Department nor SASSA has been made aware or approached for assistance. If the Honourable Member can furnish me with relevant details of the school and the leaners that need assistance.

The Department will liaise with the Provincial Department of Social Development to check if they have rendered any form of assistance to the school as provincial departments have their own Social Relief of Distress programmes.
