The Mercury
|October 16, 2025
THE South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) in KwaZulu-Natal has made significant progress in modernising its social grant service delivery through the implementation of digital income verification and biometric registration.
This is according to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development, which is conducting a week-long oversight visit to the province.
The committee received a briefing from Sassa officials at the Ilembe District Municipality offices, where KZN Regional Manager Thamo Mzobe said the Beneficiary Biometric Enrolment (BBE) system was fully implemented as of 1 September 2025.
She explained that all 82 local offices in the region had been equipped with biometric fingerprint scanners and that 901 officials had been trained to operate the new system.
