SASSA sets aside R14m for maintenance, infrastructure
Saturday Star
|March 14, 2026
THE South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has set aside R14 million in the 2026/2027 financial year to assess the condition of its offices across the country, as part of a drive to improve service delivery and address longstanding infrastructure challenges.
The announcement came during a virtual briefing by Minister of Social Development, Sisisi Tolashe, her deputy Ganief Hendricks, and SASSA CEO Themba Matlou to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development on Wednesday.
The briefing followed recommendations from the Committee’s October 2025 oversight visit to SASSA offices in KwaZulu-Natal.
"One of the recommendations by the Portfolio Committee was for Minister Tolashe to ensure that the Department of Social Development develops legislative and/or policy mechanisms that will enable SASSA to build its own offices if it manages to secure vacant land," said the agency.
Minister Tolashe said SASSA services are essential and must be delivered from safe, accessible and compliant facilities.
