People were never informed in advance. No letter. No SMS. No due process. Just unpaid grants. This isn’t administrative tightening, it’s a systemic failure that’s harming the most vulnerable. #SASSA #SASSAMediaBriefing #SASSACrisis SASSA

They've been slammed for halting grant payments without notice to hundreds of thousands of seniors, caregivers and people with disabilities. Instead of acknowledging the suffering of communities, their response is that payments are not “suspended” but “momentarily delayed”.

Please could they explain what, in the government’s view, the difference is between a “suspension” and a “momentary delay”, for those who don’t have money for food, now. Social Development SASSA

We call on SASSA and Social Development to: • Immediately reinstate suspended grants while reviews are pending • Publicly clarify the review criteria • Ensure all affected have access to appeal, assistance & answers #SASSAMediaBriefing #SASSACrisis

"Reviews allow SASSA to detect and prevent cases where individuals continue receiving grants despite being listed on payroll systems of other entities (public or private)"- Themba Matlou, SASSA CEO Social Development #SASSAMediaBriefing #SASSAGrantsReview

[Article 🗞️] Despite 81% of Grade 4 learners still being unable to read for meaning, no new funds were allocated to Grade R in this year’s budget. The consequences? A deepening education crisis and widening inequality.
