South African Social Security Agency On False Information Targeting Beneficiaries of Social Grants

press release

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is concerned by the increasing number of scams and false information targeting beneficiaries of social grants. The latest false information being circulated is that SASSA offices will be closed during the December month and that beneficiaries will not receive their January payments.

SASSA would like to assure its beneficiaries that all SASSA offices will remain open for business during December and will only close as usual on public holidays like Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year. We urge our beneficiaries to report such acts of criminality to the police so that these scammers can be put behind bars.
