Cooperative Governance Department defies court order to pay over R9-million to Insika Foundation

# The Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs is under fire for defying a court order to pay over nine-million-rand to the Insika Foundation. The foundation approached the courts last year seeking an order for the department to pay for services delivered, which it was granted. The department appealed but lost. The foundation’s CEO, Ziphozethu Busisiwe Matheniwa, says they intend to pursue further legal relief and also file a formal complaint to Parliament and the Public Protector.
