Gauteng NPOs face late payments again despite promises of improvement

# Non-profit organisations in Gauteng say they are again facing late payments from the Department of Social Development. According to GroundUp, some NPOs have signed contracts but have yet to receive funds, threatening salaries and essential services. Concerns also persist over new clauses in service-level agreements, including personal liability for directors and the use of funded vehicles by the department. Meanwhile, the NPO budget has been cut by 191-million-rand. Many organisations remain in limbo or are pursuing legal action.
