THE FUSE

Commenters are raising concerns about a SASSA review process that, in some cases, appears to demand repeated visits without resolution, each one costing pensioners money they don’t have. One frustrated commenter described the cycle: “SASSA doesn’t even help people when you get there…. Sending you home, they tell you to come tomorrow… the next day, when you go, they tell you again to come tomorrow. Where the hell must we get bus fare and taxi fare to go in and out to Sassa every day, as if they give you money to go up and down wasting the old people’s time, some are not healthy at all.”
