Investigation Into SASSA
In October 2024, Joel Cedras and Veer Gosai came forward claiming that there was mass fraud among the youths ID numbers which were being used to collect SASSA SRD R370 grants.[2][3]
In a on campus random survey of 60 people, 56 people were found to have fraudulent SASSA SRD applications.[4] They further stated that they tested all possible ID numbers of people born in February 2005 and that there was a 91% application rate, far exceeding the current youth unemployment rate of 60%.[5][6][7][8]
In Parliament, the minister of Social Development gave SASSA 30 days to investigate this matter.[9]
