The Portfolio Committee on Social Development expressed overwhelming approval of the Department of Social Development’s integration of data systems in collaboration with the Integrated Justice System (IJS).
Deputy Minister of Social Development, Honourable Ganief Hendricks serves on this portfolio committee. This innovative approach ensures that every child receiving social services is traceable, enabling:
– Accurate tracking of social grant beneficiaries
– Improved accountability for the well-being of South African children
– A stronger social security framework to protect vulnerable youth
– A connected system means no child is left behind!
This is a major step towards strengthening child protection and social security in South Africa.
