“Sassa warns the public against the fake information. The agency is not running any grant promotion and the SMS does not come from Sassa. Please stay vigilant,' said Sassa.

It is one of a string of scams that have been circulating on social media regarding Sassa.

The agency recently dismissed a notice circulating on social media claiming it was working with the DA and parliament’s portfolio committee on social development to give away poverty alleviation vouchers. The notice claimed R700 vouchers were being handed to unemployed parents and recipients of the R350 grant.

“Parents who are unemployed or recipients of the R350 grant qualify to have their malnourished children in the said age group register for this malnourishment voucher,” read the post.“The agency doesn’t offer such a voucher. We urge people to never give their ID numbers to anyone who poses as a Sassa official. When in doubt, they must visit Sassa offices to confirm or call 0800601011.”

Ooooohk fine then but where is our R350 sassa please we need it please

They invited criminality in the system. The was no use of reapplication, if all the government system were speaking to each other. It'll be easy to escalate that this particular ID is having income somewhere.
