With reference to her reply to question 290 on 28 April 2015 (a) what is the total number of additional re-registrations that were conducted by Cash Paymaster Services to warrant an additional R316 447 361,41 being paid to them and (b) what was the cost for each additional re-registration?
Reply:
(a) A total of 13 005 475 additional enrolments were performed by Cash Paymaster Services.
(b) The additional enrolments were not charged for at a unit cost, but rather the cost were calculated using the actual costs incurred as a result of the additional re-registrations which had to be performed over the period from January to July 2013. The costs incurred related to transport; infrastructure hire costs (use of halls and other venues for the re-registration); security service; travel and accommodation and staff costs, amongst others.
