Cape Town - Non-profit organisation Proudly Manenberg will shelve plans to take the government to court, chairman Mario Wanza said on Friday.
The decision followed the co-operative governance department provisionally reversing its withdrawal of a contract awarded to Proudly Manenberg.
The organisation had been contracted to implement the government's Community Work Programme (CWP).
The CWP is an initiative by the department to provide a job safety net for the unemployed. Participants are given jobs, usually for a minimum of two days a week.
The withdrawal of the contract from Proudly Manenberg saw Wanza and his supporters from the impoverished community march to Parliament earlier this week.
Wanza had since met Co-operative Governance Minister Richard Baloyi.
“The information provided by Proudly Manenberg on why and how our contract... was terminated was news to the minister,” Wanza said in a statement on Friday.
Baloyi had now provisionally re-instated Proudly Manenberg as implementing agent.
Wanza said he would meet the minister again next week.
The department told the organisation in a letter last month that its services had been terminated because it would not be able to meet the service delivery levels required. - Sapa
