The western Cape MEC of Social Development, Albert Fritz is disappointed at the manner in disregard shown by the five convicted former SASSA employees for the seriousness of their crime, during their sentencing trial.

This comes after the five dubbed the SASSA 5 appeared in the Belville Commercial Crimes Court yesterday for the start of their sentencing procedures after they were found guilty of social grant fraud.

MEC Fritz said, “This was unacceptable and speaks to the culture of disdain and entitlement some SASSA officials are accused of by poor residents of the province.”

The MEC said the department of Social Development continues to call on SASSA to clean up its act.


The case has been postponed to the 9th December 2015.
