The PSA says the fraud incidents have also resulted in some employees being falsely charged with misconduct.

The Public Servants Association said on Wednesday it was concerned that employees at the South African Social Security Agency may have unfairly taken the fall for unscrupulous activities.

The PSA, which represents the majority of employees at Sassa, said this was the result of an insecure interface system called SOCPEN, used by the grants agency to process millions of applications.“Incidents have been reported where the system has been accessed in the late hours and on weekends when Sassa offices are closed and fraudulent applications would be processed on the system using Sassa employees’ credentials,” Fredericks said.

Fredericks said the task team must deal with the SOCPEN system’s deficiencies and make recommendations to Sassa on how to resolve them.
