DA Northern Cape Provincial Spokesperson on Education, Priscilla Isaacs, says the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Northern Cape has submitted questions to probe the non-payment of pension fund contributions by the Northern Cape Department of Education. Isaacs says the party raised its concerns during the recent tabling of the department’s Annual Report 2023/24 after it came to light that the department incurred penalties for non-payment of pension fund contributions. Isaacs says they have welcomed the acknowledgement from the chief financial officer that a clean-up of the payroll system is needed to rectify the situation, and the DA will be monitoring this process closely.
