The Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Social Development Bridget Masango has cautioned that ongoing verification to root out fraud at the South African Social Security Agency should not impact illegible Social grants beneficiaries. During the Social Services cluster media briefing, Masango emphasised that while the committee supports rooting out fraud, the current implementation is causing severe hardship to eligible beneficiaries. SASSA has been undergoing a review process focused on targeting individuals suspected of having additional sources of income not disclosed to the agency. Masango earlier highlighted that the extensive time taken to clear the system is delaying payments, resulting in the temporary exclusion of people who legitimately qualify for aid. She also acknowledges that the elderly and those in rural areas face long queues and travel expenses to complete in- person verifications. “We remain concerned about the reported cases of non-payment of lawful grant beneficiaries while the verification process has not been completed. These are older persons and these are people who say they have chronic medication to buy and take care of grandchildren and that one non-payment wreaks havoc in those families.”
