Sassa is due to take over the payments on April 1. And in what amounted to an extraordinary last-minute bid to dodge responsibility, Minister of Social Development Bathabile Dlamini told Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Social Development on Wednesday that answering questions about the agency’s contingency plans would put her department and the entire process at risk.
