💨 Abstract

SASSA has received numerous complaints about unauthorised deductions from Old-Age Grants. CEO Themba Matlou clarified that SASSA does not have the authority to deduct funds without the recipient's consent. He suspects nefarious actors, such as those falsely promoting funeral policies. SASSA has handed investigations to the SAPS. Beneficiaries who suspect unauthorised deductions should contact SASSA immediately for assistance.
