Sekete Mphalane said the Social Development portfolio is charged with the responsibility to address the needs of the vulnerable groups. She said when the<\/p>\n

reporters are conversant with the systems and the operations of the Ministry they will be able to give a detailed reporting about it. Presenting the Ministry\u2019s financial performance for the 2020\/2021 fiscal year, the Director of<\/p>\n

Planning \u2018Mankhatho Linko said they have not fully executed their budget despite achieving 80 percent execution rate. The Director mentioned that their performance was \u2018unsatisfactory\u2019 highlighting that around M60<\/p>\n

million of the money was returned to the public coffers as it was unused. She mentioned that these funds arrived in January this year and it was not easy to<\/p>\n

utilise them given the short space of time which they could not have satisfied all the legal processes to use the government\u2019s funds. These unused funds<\/p>\n

according to the Ministry was budgeted for the school bursaries programme. One of the participants, Nthabiseng Mpanya said the forum has helped enhance her knowledge<\/p>\n

of the services rendered by the Ministry. This knowledge she said will come in handy as she normally receive questions from her listeners about the services<\/p>\n

in the Ministry of Social Development making an anecdote wherein during the lockdown she received the report of alleged incest act which resulted in the<\/p>\n

sister falling pregnant allegedly by her brother saying had she known then, she could have pointed the \u2018victim\u2019 to some of the departments within the Ministry<\/p>\n

to assist her with counselling. The Radio Maria journalist said she also learned why some people were not able to receive the relief assistance during<\/p>\n

the lockdown period. Mpanya further expressed confidence that she is armed with knowledge to better assist her listeners when they request guidance. In order to improve the<\/p>\n

service delivery, Mphalane said they will build a portal website which will enable feedback reports and interaction with their clients on the services that they render as well as the complaints.<\/p>\n
