A former SA Social Security Agency (Sassa) employee devised a lucrative scheme to defraud the agency and made easy cash.

The identity documents that were submitted in support of the grant applications also gave the fraudsters away.

“Some of the copies of the identity documents submitted had a photo of a woman or man but according to the identity number, the classification indicated the opposite sex." Zulu phoned Jingilisa sometimes to find out at what site office he was working on that particular day, and indicated that he was going to refer some people who"needed Jingilisa to help them obtain their Sassa cards", according to the prosecution.
