Don’t worry if you’re trying to find the nearest SASSA branch to you. Last month, SASSA announced its latest initiative to protect against fraud and corruption. It’s basically cancellation without review, and if you’re one of the approximately 200 000 recipients affected, you must report to the nearest SASSA branch to rectify the situation.
The above proceedings are all in the name of double-checking and confirming ‘core’ grant eligibility. Therefore, if your finances appear to be underquoted or any personal details don’t align, you will have to visit the nearest SASSA branch to clarify matters urgently …

The agency is hopelessly undersubscribed, handling 28-million clients (45% of the population) and being responsible for R260 billion annually. Unbelievably, even the elderly, those with disabilities and parents with young child dependents must visit the nearest SASSA branch in person for even basic transactions. This is particularly difficult for those that live in remote, rural areas or require full-time care. Making such trips requires a lot of time, money and effort to visit a nearest SASSA branch.
