Lifestyle audit should be mandatory for all government employees. This is disgusting, the corruption is off the scale here.

[mrinteldaplug]

This is what should be investigated instead of taxing us for ANC incompetences

[EdnaBlose]

All Sassa offices should be investigated there's a lot going on there.

[Jerrymapheto-hpim]

Not only SASA, but all government departments must be investigated entirely 🤔

[AnAngel-fd]

All South African departments should be investigated. Starting from the municipalities.

Those 2 students who made a presentation to parliament last year about how easy it is to commit fraud at SASSA were brilliant. But govt is so slow to act

*R265, 000, So instead of going after these officials, the ANC wants to hike our VAT

Thank you God you answered our prayers.

When I grow up people used to say crime doesn't pay but nowadays crime pays in South Africa

[mabaker]

That explains why those varsity students were met with such negativity and arrogance for their revelations of SASSA corruption.. Hopefully, those students are cleared of those accusations....

Put a fence around parliament and declare it a prison.

Some people are just greedy, imagine working a permanent government job with benefits and they mess it up by committing crime. The corruption in government is just too much

😮 straight to jail, no bail! Those others aren't on leave, they're on the run! 😅

Is this country serious. Are they telling us if the shoprite employees didn't alert them, they had no way of investigating this because we all know this sindicate has been happening for a while in SA. R200m is alot and this is just the tip of the iceberg indeed.

[OscarineMlisana]

Oh my word, do we think our country will ever get better when it comes to crime💔💔💔💔these people took jobs to serve not to destroy the country

[TsheM]

How do we not have controls against such in our government offices? Like a whole R265, 000, 000? That's insane.

This is what is happening at all sassa offices around the country, people are poor and suffering while sassa employees are stealing the funds with foreigners, as long as ANC is still in charge things are going to get worse, things like this shouldn't be happening it's a disgrace, no wonder sassa couldn't comment cz they know exactly what they've been doing all along

[dangovender-wfon]

All government departments should be investigated. This is a disgrace to sassa stealing pensioners money.

[zamamanana]

😮😮😮just the thought it's disgusting....🙏🙏🙏

[LindaMakofane-ro]

All government offices should be investigated. Sad that they are getting monthly salaries with benefits but still so greedy to steal from the hand that feeds them and from the vulnerable poor of the poorest. REVELATION TIME
