questioned how the company would do so, seeing that it had claimed that its only revenue stream had been from the payment of social grants, a contract worth an estimated R10-billion a month.It stands to reason then that, when the now extended contract comes to an end in six months’ time, CPS is unlikely to be in a position to repay the R317-million as it will, theoretically, have no income.
