DA calls for minister Pule to brief Parliament on assassination plots inside SASSA

# The DA is calling on minister of Social Development Dina Pule to account to Parliament on the alleged assassination plot against South African Social Security Agency Eastern Cape regional manager Bandile Maqetuka. Maqetuka is said to have been targeted while uncovering fraud and corruption involving suspected losses of ten-million-rand. The DA says these allegations raise serious questions about the extent of fraud and corruption within SASSA, the networks allegedly benefiting from the abuse of the grant system, and whether officials tasked with exposing this wrongdoing are being adequately protected.
