KZN non-profit bodies worry over change in subsidy payment system
The Mercury
|June 26, 2025
NON-PROFIT organisations (NPOs) in KwaZulu-Natal are fearful that their work could be in jeopardy after the provincial Department of Social Development in KwaZulu-Natal warned them of a change to the payment schedule for their subsidies.
The NPOs said they were concerned that the payment change might result in them not receiving payments on time, or at all, which would have a catastrophic impact on their ability to provide social services to the needy and vulnerable.
The Mercury has seen the letter from the Social Development Department informing NPOs of the change and also spoke to representatives of two NPOs who received it. The NPOs did not want to be named for fear of reprisal.
The letter, dated June 22, stated that part of the department's budget has been reallocated by the Provincial Treasury to pay outstanding bills of the Department of Education.
This decision comes as the department faced a strike by teachers due to delays in payments for norms and standards. About R900 million has been reallocated from other departments and given to the education department.
