SASSA spokesperson  Paseka Letsatsi says the agency worked with registered Credit Bureaus to find the beneficiaries.

He warns that not reporting within the stipulated 30 days would lead to the grant being suspended.

Letsatsi also warned beneficiaries to disclose any alternative sources of income and to report any additional bank accounts not previously declared.

He said if any beneficiary is found to be defrauding the system, legal action will be taken.
