One of the ongoing challenges SASSA faces is fraud and corruption within the social grant system. Given the large scale of the operation and the vulnerable nature of the populations it serves, the system has sometimes been exploited by individuals or groups seeking to benefit illegally. This can take the form of duplicate applications, fraudulent claims using false identities, or exploitation of the elderly and disabled who may be unaware of how their grants are being handled https://srdsassagov.web.za/ .
