SASSA hosts anti-fraud and corruption conference, 30 to 31 Mar

The second national SASSA Anti-Corruption Conference takes place at the St George's Hotel in Pretoria from 30 to 31 March.

Government has since 2009 taken a strong stance in the fight against fraud and corruption, especially as it relates to procurement and tender processes, social grants, IDs, etc.

Since the first Annual Anti-Corruption Conference in November 2013, a total of 160 arrests were made comprising of SASSA officials, CPS officials, beneficiaries and illegal money lenders.

"We are winning the fight against fraud and corruption and we will continue to learn and improve our systems in order that we are not only reactive, but also a step ahead of criminals who want to feed off the poor.  We urge all South Africans not to keep quiet when they observe suspicious behaviour and to report it to us in order that it can be looked into.  All of us have a role to play in fighting fraud and corruption.  Let us speak out wherever we see it occurring," Minister of Social Development Bathabile Dlamini said at the media briefing announcing the conference.
