department of Social Development in the Eastern Cape, and is reflected as
received.
According to records at the provincial department, in January 2009 the
organisation submitted a request for funding for an additional Social
Auxiliary Workerâs Post which was attached to the business plan for 2009-
2010 funding. The funding request was recommended for approval by the
District Office on the 30 January 2009, however, due to financial
constraints, currently experienced by the sub programme, the organisation
could not be considered for an additional funding of a Social Auxiliary
Worker for the financial year 2009/2010.
