SASSA has found over 200,000 dishonest beneficiaries.

The agency says they did not trustfully disclose their details.  Those identified will now have to be reviewed within 30 days. 

As a result of this, their June 2025 payment cycle will be delayed.

SASSA spokesperson  Paseka Letsatsi says the agency worked with registered Credit Bureaus to find the beneficiaries.

He warns that not reporting within the stipulated 30 days would lead to the grant being suspended.

Letsatsi also warned beneficiaries to disclose any alternative sources of income and to report any additional bank accounts not previously declared.

He said If any beneficiary is found to be defrauding the system, legal action will be taken.
