Sassa Northern Cape has confirmed that numerous social grants in the province have been suspended. Regional spokesperson Inno Khunou said on Monday that the grants had been suspended for various reasons, including fraud, to ensure that the lifelines of beneficiaries were protected.These included 55 cases in the Frances Baard district , while the ZF Mgcawu district had 29 cases .
“Upon investigations conducted periodically by Sassa, this was discovered and an enquiry of possible fraud was raised. Once the suspicion was cleared, the grant was reinstated.” She added that the agency worked with relevant stakeholders, including all banks, to ensure fraud in the grant system was defeated.
