Court to decide on CPS's profits from unlawful social grants contract
Cape Argus
|May 28, 2025
THE long-running legal battle over the payment of social grants by Cash Paymaster Services (CPS) is set to be settled by the Constitutional Court over the company’s profits from the lucrative deal.
Lobby group Freedom Under Law (FUL) has approached the apex court in a bid to force CPS to produce documents proving the company earned from the unlawful social grants contract.
The organisation wants CPS's profit from the contract to be calculated properly and repaid to the SA Social Security Agency (Sassa) with documents showing how much the profits were. The Concourt yesterday heard that CPS only declared R252 million and that the profit could be understated by as much as R800m, according to papers filed by the parties.
