Hulle kom vir die oumas: Suid-Afrika slaan toe op “welsynsbedrog”
Summary
The document argues that while the South African government frames social grant fraud as a problem caused by beneficiaries, data indicates that the most significant fraud is perpetrated by state officials and predatory third parties. It criticizes the National Treasury and SASSA for implementing automated monitoring and verification tools—such as risk algorithms, bank account checks, and biometric verification—which the author claims are ineffective and lead to the wrongful exclusion of thousands of eligible poor, elderly, and disabled people.
