COGTA leaves Community Works Programme participants unpaid for work done
Since Tuesday afternoon, the DA has received desperate calls from Community Works Programme (CWP) participants who have not been paid their stipends, as scheduled, by the Department of Cooperative Governance (COGTA). The participants received an SMS message notifying them that they won’t be receiving payment on the 25th April 2023 because COGTA was in a transitional process after it took a decision not to renew the contracts of implementing agents.
