MAFIKENG MAIL – MAHIKENG:
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has accused North West Premier, Job Mokgoro of misleading the provincial Legislature when he answered questions around the declaration of his personal interests.
The allegations were made during a media briefing in Mafikeng on Tuesday.
The DA said in the statement read at the media conference that during a session session, “we asked the Premier if he has any business interests and also to list such in the event of any. He referred us to the register on members’
interests and confidently confirmed that all his interests are indeed declared.
“We accepted his open invitation to peruse the declaration and found only two companies listed – Nonontsha and Mokgone, which are in the process of being deregistered.
“After doing our own company, however, we found that another company, called JFKS Consulting, has not been declared despite it being in business since 2011. The Premier is listed as an active director of this company and we want to know the dealings between this company and any government departments.
“To this end, we will specifically request the Public Protector to look into the business that this company is doing and with whom.
“In terms of the Executive Members’
Ethics Act, the Premier is required to disclose all his financial interests when assuming office, as well asany financial interests acquired after his assumption of office.
“He is further required to abide by the Code of Ethics as prescribed by the Standing Rules of the North West Provincial Legislature, which stipulates that Members are to declare their interests.
“Since his assumption of office last year June, however, he has declared only the two companies mentioned earlier. This is in contravention of the above stated Rules and warrants the necessary steps to deal with such a breach.
“In order to get to the bottom of this, we will write to the Speaker, Suzan Dantjie, the Public Protector, as well as the Integrity Commissioner at the Legislature to urgently investigate the matter, as this is a serious breach of the Code.
“If the investigations prove that he indeed misled the public under oath, it will mean that the Premier is in contempt of the Legislature. In such an event, we will have no alternative but to lay charges of contempt against him in terms of the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament Act”, the DA said.
At the time of going to press, the Premier’s Office had not responded to questions from Mahikeng Mail about the allegations.

The attack on the SABC crew are an act of criminality
MAFIKENG MAIL – MAHIKENG: The office of the Chief Whip of the majority party in the North West Provincial legislature this week reacted with dismayed to the incident in which the SABC crew was physically attacked and their equipment vandalised.
The provincial legislature described the incident as a despicable act of malice which took place in Schweizer Reneke while the crew was compiling the story on the dissolution of the Municipal Council, a decision which had since been taken by the ruling party after realising the unworkable state of the Mamusa Local Municipality.
“This unfortunate incident constitutes the attack of the highest order on the freedom of the press and must be met with the full might of the law. The North West ANC legislature Caucus strongly condemns the resurfacing culture of the use of violence as a means of resolving areas of disagreement, a tendency which had come to define the political landscape of the North West province in the recent past.
“We call for the law enforcement to actively participate in the process and apprehend all those who are determined to wreak havoc both on the work of government and freedom of the press.
“In order to restore the much needed stability in our municipalities, the ANC caucus will through the executive and legislative arms of the Provincial government implement all the decisions which is mandated to implement by the ANC Interim Provincial Committee.
As part of getting to the bottom of this sporadic incidents of violence targeted at destabilising attempts to enforce normality in our municipalities, we will be in contact with the MEC responsible for Public Safety and urge him to urgently institute an investigation
that will assist government to establish what exactly is a link between these criminal elements and the interventions brought about by the provincial government.
“The African National Congress has resolved in its last National Conference to bring about stability and progress in all our government structures. Gone are the days whereby the media will be harassed to cover any anything which is happening in all the sectors of our society, be it government of in our communities. We are ready to go back to Basics and make sure that services are conveyed to and in the interest of our people,”
the legislature said in a statement on Tuesday.
Government ignores Business
MAFIKENG MAIL – POTCHEFSTROOM - The North West Provincial Government has for the past three years refused to engage with organized business in the Province - and that has led to unresolved issues.
“This attitude is also putting a huge damper on the expansion of business in the Province and therefore hampers the creation of much needed jobs,” the chairman of the North West Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NWCOCI), Johan Oosthuizen, said in a statement earlier this week.
“It comes as a surprise that although National Government in the person of the President, Cyril Ramaphosa, and the Minister of Finance, Tito Mboweni, have urged Government at all levels to engage with business to look for ways to curb the rate of unemployment, the North West leaders are not willing to talk to organized business. This not only makes it difficult for businesses to grow and invest, but it also creates mistrust in Government,” he said.
The NWCoCI has some 6000 members and are affiliated to BUSA, SACCI and the SBI. It also, from time to time, sit on committees of Nedlac where it gives input on issues of national importance.
“After a meeting with the Deputy Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) during May 2018, and notwithstanding an engagement
with Pres Ramaphosa during 2017, many requests for meetings have been sent to members of the EXCO, but we do not even get replies on our letters or emails.
The same happens with municipalities. We are business people trying to make an honest living and to grow our businesses and create more jobs, but if this is the attitude, in which we see no change happening, more businesses are going to close their doors and/or move to provinces where the Government is business friendly. We are currently meeting with two groups that would like to open factories in the North West, but when questioned about our relationship with Government at all levels in the Province, they are skeptical and are looking elsewhere,” Oosthuizen said.
“The NWPG has created the VTSD Chambers of Commerce and spent millions on this, but these Chambers, the ones that are actually still functioning - of which there are very few - are turning to us for help now. We are a non-profit organization of volunteers and do not have the funds to help these Chambers.
We can assist them with business ideas and how to run a well-functioning Chamber, but unfortunately to do that they want, we would
need funding”, he said.
He added that they have also offered their help in municipalities, but they had no takers. “We have people in our midst who hat can help where help is needed and it would not be necessary to get expensive consultants from outside the Province.
The people are in our organization. We also have the NWU Business School as a corporate member with a wealth of expertise at hand,” he explained.
“In the past eight months we had to turn away two very big investments from international companies which could have created some 2300 jobs, but again no interest from Government,” Oosthuizen said.
To get in contact with the North West Chamber of Commerce, call CEO André Coertzen on 082 492 6321 or send an email to [email protected].

Comment
Comment by Bobby Saul of 13 Martin Street, Galleria Arcade, Mafikeng.
When the curtains finally came down at the Mmabatho Conventions Centre on Sunday morning and the thousands of revellers who had come to enjoy the final round of the three-year spectacle of traditional music extravaganza coupled with a spectacular display of colourful attires by the audience, it also signalled the end of a contract in which the provincial government had spent millions of rands paid to an events management company residing from outside the province.
The Kwazulu Natal based Mageza Heritage Foundation previously operating as an NPO had been contracted to organise the annual South African Traditional Music Advancement Awards (SATMAs) celebration much against the wishes of local service providers who questioned the commitment of the provincial administration to developed and contribute towards local economic growth.
Like the annual Mahika Mahika show, the SATMAS have been clouded with a lot of controversy as locals complained that they were overlooked by both Mageza Heritage Foundation and the main sponsor, the North West Department of Arts, Culture, Sports and Recreation (ACSR) , previously known as CATA.
Departmental authorities had their handful trying to explain the reasons they had decided on several programmes affecting the different annual events.
The 2019 edition was the third in a row to be hosted by the North West Provincial Government. It was also the final instalment for the province, before the show is hosted by the Mpumalanga Province next year.
MEC for ACSR, Virginia Tlhapi literally walked into difficult challenges affecting the events and last week battled to satisfy all the artists when she met them in Klerksdorp.
She was quoted as having remarked after last weekend’s closing ceremony of the SATMAS that “The Satmas in our Province have been a success since we started hosting three years ago.
‘’We are proud to say that the awards have played a pivotal role in placing our arts and culture sector on the map not only in South Africa, but beyond our borders as well. The awards have always been part of our broader strategy to raise the bar on our arts scene and contribute to our economy by bringing revellers to our shores. We thank the organisers for working so well with the Provincial government.’’
Welcome to the first weekly message
‘From the Desk of the President’. Each week, I will discuss some of the issues that interest and concern South Africans, and talk about the work we are doing in government to tackle these issues. I hope you will find it useful.
Almost everyone I meet in the country, whether residents of Lusikisiki or business leaders in Johannesburg, is deeply concerned about the state of the economy and the stubbornly high rates of unemployment. After a decade of low growth and deepening poverty, people are looking for signs of progress in tackling the many challenges confronting our country.
SirIn response to the letter, carried in the Mahikeng Mail of 27 September 2019, herewith the North-West University’s response:
Boiketlo Motshegoa’s letter, “Foreigners disguised as professionals should also be sent packing” published on 27 September 2019, contains very serious allegations and unsubstantiated statements against the North-West University (NWU).
The letter’s xenophobic undertone is regrettable.
The NWU takes all matters of misconduct by its staff, foreign nationals or South Africans, extremely serious and would like to see perpetrators facing the full might of the law. The university does not tolerate any conduct that violates students’ rights and has the potential to impact negatively on our academic programme. Staff and students are constantly encouraged to report such incidents in terms of the formal policies and channels available so that all internal processes can be utilised and exhausted.
The allegations referred to in the letter had already been reported to the relevant faculty that has already begun with a thorough investigation to establish the facts and certain reports and actions have already been achieved although the matter under investigation has not yet been finalised in its entirety.
The university needs to expose students to knowledge and expertise from a wide range of sources including staff from other countries. Foreign nationals currently account for 8,6% of the NWU’s academic staff. The university acknowledges the need to maintain a sensitive balance in the appointment of local and international staff; thus we are committed to the Grow Our Own Timber (GOOT) programme that is aimed at increasing the number of young local academics for the NWU. The New Generation of Academics Programme (nGAP) that we are implementing in partnership with the Department of Higher Education and Training is also beginning to make a meaningful contribution towards producing more local academics.
It is also important to point out that in terms of international cooperation and research networks, such as exchange programmes, the university offers students the opportunity to obtain a wider international perspective. For example, our post-doctoral programmes are aimed at providing students the opportunity to obtain more research experience at other local and international universities.
Our stakeholders are encouraged to report any misconduct by our staff to the NWU through the reporting channels available at http://www.nwu.

NWU responds
2019 SATMAS brings to an end
a controversial chapter in
North West
From the Desk of the President...
These concerns are real. This year, the economy will record growth that is lower than expected (and much lower than what we need). Government finances are stretched about as far as they can go, and several industries are looking at retrenching workers.
Much of the confidence that the country had 20 months ago has dissipated as the reality of the problems we face became clearer. This confidence was born out of the hope that we would quickly undo the damage that was done over a number of years. Implementing change does take time. The important issue is that we should move in a determined way to effect change while remaining irrevocably committed to
rooting out state capture, corruption and malfeasance.
We collectively have a common task:
to rebuild the confidence of our people, this time based not merely on hope and expectation of change, but on concrete things that make a difference in the economy, real actions that ‘move the needle’.
I believe this is eminently possible.
Despite the difficulties, South Africans from all walks of life are still moved
by the spirit of Thuma
Mina to become
involved in fixing our country. They want to change the narrative of doubt to a narrative of opportunity not through clever spin, but through action. South Africans are ready to rise to the challenge.
Most of the people I speak to recognise that we have made progress in turning our country around. The changes that have taken place in many state-owned enterprises and in bodies like the NPA, SARS, the police and the State Security Agency give people confidence that we can restore the credibility and integrity of the State. It shows that we are serious about tackling corruption and ending state capture.
There has also been progress on the economic front. A year ago, we announced an economic stimulus and recovery plan in response to our economy’s first recession in nine years. Since then we have embarked on several reforms to create a more investor-friendly environment. We have finalised a Mining Charter that has been broadly welcomed by the industry and finalised policy on the allocation of valuable broadband spectrum. We have and continue to make changes to our visa policies
Funds have been redirected to stimulate economic activity in areas where the majority of South Africans live. This includes finance to support black commercial farmers, the revitalisation of industrial parks in townships and the establishment of a Township Economy Fund. Government is also increasing the value of goods and services it procures from small business and cooperatives.
Much work still needs to be done in many of these areas to ensure they have the effect on the economy we seek.
Building on the stimulus and recovery plan, government will finalise a clear economic growth strategy within the next few weeks. This strategy will draw on the many valuable contributions that have been made by South Africans on the discussion paper released by National Treasury.
Several parts of the growth strategy are already in place. These include how we can strengthen our reform programme, a revitalised industrial strategy in support of key growth sectors and the establishment of an Infrastructure Fund with a clear plan to revive infrastructure investment. Much work is underway to improve the ease and reduce the cost of doing business, as are efforts to restructure state owned enterprises and ensure that they perform better in meeting the country’s needs.
A clear strategy to place Eskom on a sustainable path of recovery is also being finalised.
All this work is taking place at a time when government’s finances are under great strain, and there is very little room to increase spending or borrowing. This means that we need to spend our limited resources more smartly, get rid of wastage and shift more resources to infrastructure investment.
On the first Monday morning of each month, the Deputy President and I meet with the leaders of business, labour and the community sector to review the implementation of measures agreed at last year’s Jobs Summit. Our continued focus is on job creation and how we can reduce the numbers of people who are unemployed.
It is clear that, as a country, we are taking firm action to grow the economy and create jobs. But we need to do more to turn things around. We need to finalise a comprehensive growth strategy that takes all the work being done to another level. I am certain that with the active involvement of all sectors of society, this will be achieved.
South Africans are ready to rise to the challenge.
Best wishes, Cyril Ramaphosa.

The two academics also started visiting schools. In the beginning of the year visited Laerskool Stilfontein, where, with the assistance
of their students, they educated teachers on identifying and reporting abuse. They also addressed learners by presenting a puppet show.
Dr Van der Merwe and Dr Preston hope to work with the Department of Basic Education in future to reach more schools. Helping Hands – A teacher’s guide to reporting abuse is available from Van Schaiks book stores.

As part of growing the economy, all school uniforms that were being given to school children were made by local co-operatives and small and medium enterprises.
For the 2019 project funding cycle, the NAC received 1416 applications from South Africa’s broader arts community. In recognising the magnitude of the arts sector and considering its extended value chain, the NAC has introduced a programmatic approach to funding. Now, all grants to beneficiaries are located within specified programmes instead of according to individual disciplines.
This year, the five NAC programmes (Social Cohesion and Nation Building; Capacity Building; Innovation, Design and Creation of New Works; Arts Platforms; and Strategic Initiatives) were allocated R5.2-million each. NAC CEO, Rosemary Mangope said:
“In order to achieve our goal of changing the landscape of South Africa’s cultural and creative industries, the NAC is undergoing constant and unrelenting transition to cater to the needs of arts and cultural practitioners and their development. Our aim is to fund
for impact and do so in a meaningful and sustainable way. “To help us achieve this, past beneficiaries will be paired with new emerging ones where necessary and possible to ensure that they learn from the experiences of others and thereby improve their skills,”
she added. Successful funded beneficiaries are encouraged to report to the NAC on a regular basis, reflecting their revised project activity plans. Recipients are also encouraged to adhere to the contract they signed with the NAC and not deviate from it, unless approved by the entity.
Letters will be sent to successful beneficiaries for the 2019 funding cycle, and their names will be published on the NAC website soon.
The Arts Organisation Support Funding and Bursaries are currently under review and applicants will be notified of the results as soon as a decision is made.
National arts council to spend R26m on arts practitioners
MAFIKENG MAIL – MAHIKENG: In keeping with its mandate to support and develop South Africa’s arts, culture and heritage sector, the National Arts Council of South Africa (NAC) has approved R26-million in funding for beneficiaries across the country.
Dr Lynn Preston and Dr Wanda van der Merwe from the Faculty of Education are going the extra mile to try and protect South Africa’s most precious citizens, children.
They came up with a practical initiative to educate school teachers on how to determine if their learners are victims of abuse, and the procedures to follow when reporting abuse within an educational environment.
According to Dr Van der Merwe, the current alarming rates of crimes committed against children, pointed out the need to educate and inform school teachers on the correct reporting procedures if a child is being abused or neglected. They also realised that that a number of their students did not know how to address this issue should they be confronted with it. Last year Dr Van der Merwe and Dr Preston, together with Dr Deon Vos and Dr Louw de Beer from the Faculty of Education, published the book Helping Hands – A teacher’s guide to reporting abuse.
This book is available to all school teachers and has step-by-step information on what teachers should do when they suspect that a learner is experiencing some type of abuse.
“When a child is being abused, teachers are legally obliged to report it,” says Dr Preston.
“With this book we attempt to not only protect the children, but also their teachers.”
She explains that, should a teacher be found guilty of knowing that a child is being abused and not reporting the matter, they can be held liable.
“This book does not only create awareness, but also helps teachers to identify victims of abuse and gives them the necessary know-how on how to report the abuse. These two academics, together with a social worker and a member of the South African Police Services are currently assisting teachers at Resolofetse Secondary School in Ikageng to identify and report cases of child abuse. They also present this initiative to teaching students during their orientation

During the period from Mid-2017 to March 2018, the outbreak of listeriosis from contaminated processed food, resulted in the deaths of a number of people as well as the closure of processing plants. Spokesperson of for the dti, Sidwell Medupe said that the new regulations were intended to enable inspection of processing plants in order to avoid a similar tragedy. Medupe said the new regulations followed agreement between the Departments of Trade and Industry (the dti), and of Health (DoH) on the final publication of the Compulsory Specification for Processed Meat Products (VC 9100).
The new regulations will be enforced by the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS), an entity reporting to the dti. “After extensive stakeholder consultation, the final Compulsory Specification for Processed Meat Products, was gazetted on 8 August 2019 to come into force 2 months from the date of publication.
“The aim of this Compulsory Specification is to effectively regulate those categories of Processed Meat Products that are considered as high risk, in order to protect the health and safety of consumers. the dti will work
with the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) to coordinate the enforcement of the new regulations in terms of the Agricultural Product Standards Act”, Medupe said.
He said the NRCS was setting up an extensive regulatory programme of inspections throughout the country. This will enable government and industry to detect any food borne bugs early. Government will continue to make improvements to food safety in order to ensure that consumers can rely on the food products that the local industry is producing.
Speaking about the new regulations, the Minister of Trade & Industry, Ebrahim Patel, stated that, “This is an important step in ensuring that consumers are protected against harmful food-borne bacteria. Our food industry is important to the country’s economic development and job creation.
Jobs in the food industry must be secured through measures that provide consumers with appropriate protection. We have agreed that a task team comprising of officials from the three departments (the dti, DoH and DALRRD) be nominated to consider
a dedicated Food Safety Authority for the country”, said Minister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, He added, “This denotes an era of governance where there is effective multi- sectoral collaboration to protect our people from environmental dangers whilst at the same time protecting food and job security.
We are very pleased with the resolutions in the interest of preventative strategies for a healthier nation.”

All three (3) suspects were arrested and the vehicle recovered by police. The trio made their first appearance before the Mmabatho Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, (Yesterday).
Trio arrested for alleged vehicle theft
Nineteen suspects
appear in Bloemhof court
MAFIKENG MAIL – BLOEMHOF : The 19 suspects arrested on charges of public violence appeared in the local Magistrates Court here yesterday (Wednesday) amid violent scenes in the North small town where an 18-old youth died after being severely assaulted in Boitumelong township.
Protesting angry residents demanded the unconditional release of the suspects arguing that those arrested were unfairly arrested by police in the area during the protest during which an SABC news crew was also attacked and their equipment destroyed.
The Following months of intensive
investigation regarding incidents of vigilantism and public violence that were reported earlier this year in Bloemhof, on Monday, 30 September , the Provincial Task Team arrested the 19 suspects aged between 19 and 50.
The suspects who include three women, were arrested at various locations in Bloemhof for assault with intent to do Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH), kidnapping, house robbery, murder, malicious damage to property and public violence. Those arrested faced a charge of public violence subsequent to the violence that erupted in March at Boitumelong
Sportsground where the North West Premier was due to address members of the community about their concerns. Provincial authorities requested the local community to remain calm and refrain from embarking on illegal and criminal acts such as barricading of roads as that cannot be tolerated. They called on locals to give police an
opportunity to do their work so that the alleged suspects are processed accordingly and without any meddling.
The outcome of the court hearing had not yet been finalised at the time of going to press.
Matlosana artists meet with MEC Tlhapi
By Maboni Kgabi
MAHIKENG MAIL-KLERKSDORP: MEC for Arts, Culture, Sport and Recreation (ACSR) Galebekwe Tlhapi said artists around the province should work together - not in silos - in order to develop one another.
She was speaking to artists representing the in Matlosana Municipality recently on the last leg of her district
roadshows which had been running since August.
He department said last week that the roadshows sought to afford artists an opportunity to share their achievements, challenges and plans on working with the department.
The idea was to ensure that they corrected mistakes of the past and work together towards common goals. During the meeting artists admitted that some of them had received one or more forms of assistance from the department but urged the MEC to work even harder to reach out to all the artists in the province particularly those who cannot access resources they needed to be able to compete in the marketplace. Some of the concerns they raised included lack of communication on the plans the department had for artists and further highlighted concerns such as the revival of the Mmabana Foundation, lack of adequate resources such as youth arts centres. They also requested to be part of the main events such as the SATMAs, SAMAs and SAFTAs and Mahika Mahikeng. Artists also requested the MEC to intervene in the issue of late payments after they had rendered services to the department. They also sought the MEC’s support in getting airplay on local radio stations for songs they have recorded. Responding to some of the concerns, the MEC said all the issues raised by artists would receive her office’s immediate attention. She promised to meet with management in her department and relevant stakeholders to plan for development and sustainability of the arts. She said that artists should be involved in decision making processes.
“My office will engage everyone to form part of the discussions in the manner in which artists receive the departmental services. We will also have quarterly meetings to report on the progress made in these
engagements. We will ensure that we deliver on our promise and not shy away from our wrong doings”, the MEC said

Moringa from North West could soon be on way to Russia
MAFIKENG MAIL – MAHIKENG: The North West businesswoman, Maboang Matlou, who promoted her moringa products at the World Food Moscow has expressed optimism of exporting her products to Russia in the near future. Matlou is the Chief Executive Officer of Lefakong Farming, a company based in Bosplaas, near Hammanskraal.
Matlou is one of the South African businesspeople who were funded by the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) through its Export Marketing and Investment Assistance (EMIA) Scheme to participate in the four-day international food and beverage exhibition which ended yesterday.
“Participating in the exhibition of this magnitude provided a very good international exposure for our business and products. Our stand was one of those that attracted a lot of people because of the kinds of products that we were displaying. I was particularly impressed by the keen interest shown by the consumers in our products. Few knew moringa but even fewer knew about its benefits. I used that opportunity to create awareness and they were even more keen
to have our products after learning about the benefits of moringa.
Some even wanted to buy on the spot,” said Matlou.
She added that if the interest shown by the show visitors on her products was anything to go by, then she had no doubt that the products could find a fertile ground in
Russian market if they were made available. She is optimistic that it would not be too long before she exports her products to Russia if the four good trade leads that she generated there develop into concrete deals. “These trade leads are really promising as I even held formal meetings with the business people who showed interest in importing our products.
Two of those companies have already requested quotations and they would like to buy in bulk and package the products in Russia. I also met with a representative of a company that is already dealing in moringa at a small scale and they would like to expand their portfolio of moringa products by importing moringa tea from us. There is also a company that requested
our price list and are interested in procuring several products in large volumes from us,”
Matlou said. Matlou was also approached by a businessman who indicated that he could do the groundwork for her in Russia and assist her products penetrate the market quicker. This he would do by marketing her products amongst the country’s chains of retail stores, supermarkets and pharmacies.

Failure to collect social grants will lead to the cancellation of grants
MAHIKENG MAIL-MAHIKENG: South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in the North West region has realised that there are beneficiaries who did not collect social grants for three consecutive months which will lead to the grant being cancelled.
“The agency has dealt with cases wherein some of beneficiaries are not in the country for a period longer than 90 days (3 months) which contributes to the grant being cancelled,” said Zodwa Mvulane, the North West Region Executive Manager.
However, before the grant is cancelled the agency will inform beneficiaries that have not collected their money to do so. If the grant is still not collected, it will
be placed on temporary suspension to allow the beneficiary to go to SASSA offices and explain reasons for non-collection. If after temporary suspension and the grant is still not collected, it will be cancelled. If the beneficiary still qualifies and wishes to continue receiving the grant, they will have to reapply.
Some of other reasons that will cause the grant to be cancelled will be when or if a beneficiary dies, or is admitted to a State funded institution including prison; if a social grants have not been collected for three consecutive months; if the beneficiary was awarded temporary disability grant and the period
has lapsed and if a child turns 18 years whilst receiving grant.
All grants recipients are further reminded of the importance of being honest about information that is provided to SASSA at the time of application. This include informing the agency about changes in the financial status. It is the responsibility of the beneficiary to update personal information with SASSA.
Beneficiaries who encounter any problems or have enquiries with regard to their grant status can contact SASSA toll free on 0800 60 10 11.
