SASSA’s Mismanagement Criticised

The Democratic Alliance (DA) says it is ‘unacceptable’ that the South African Social Security Agency's (SASSA) financial resources are being ‘abused’.
 
DA spokesperson, Patricia Kopane, points out that "If this government is serious about assisting those who are not in a financial position to assist themselves, it must urgently step in to address the mismanagement that appears to have pervaded every level of the agency."

Kopane has further repeated a call by the DA for the establishment of a Social Inspectorate to ensure the integrity and accountability of SASSA, as specified in Chapter 4 of the Social Assistance Act.
