Chairperson of SCOPA Songezo Zibi, praised both Sassa and the police for their efforts after the arrests of the three officials.
The South African Social Security Agency has announced that more arrests are expected following the apprehension of three of their employees involved in an alleged fraud scheme amounting to R260 million.
Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts Songezo Zibi, praised both Sassa and the police for their efforts after the arrests of the three officials last week. Zibi expressed hope that these arrests would send a strong message to those who steal from the poor and defraud the state.“We see many of these instances where people take advantage of the transfers that South African taxpayers provide to the people who are less fortunate. They take advantage of the system in order to steal. To advantage themselves, relatives, and their friends. And I hope justice takes its course as quickly as possible.
