Corruption and poor performance will not be tolerated in the department, North West newly appointed MEC for Department of Social Development, Women, Children and People with Disabilities, Collen Maine said at the departmental first quarter performance review session held in Mahikeng on Tuesday.
“We must all intensify our efforts in general to achieve a clean audit at the end of the financial year while at the same time, delivering quality services to the people of the this province, Maine said, adding that mediocrity and sub-standard performance will not be tolerated in the department.”
