In KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has stopped more than 38 600 awards and is evaluating 78 811.

These 38 622 recipients, according to SASSA, have not visited its offices to have their awards evaluated. Sandy Godlwana, the agency’s spokesperson in KwaZulu-Natal, noted that SASSA alerted recipients that, among other things, they must follow this procedure in order to determine whether they still qualified.

Godlwana reports that 78 811 awards still need evaluation. According to ECR News, Godlwana said that some of these recipients are getting more than what was reported on their system.

“Some of these clients are now getting more than what was registered in our system. Most of them who has reapplied we have picked up that they are now earning more than what was captured in our system.

“This is a way of us cleaning our system and ensuring that we pay the right clients,”

said Godlwana.
