In August 2025, South Africans who rely on SASSA grants must be extra careful because scammers are using tricks like the fake “Ubuntu Life” scheme to steal money. SASSA warns people never to pay fees for grants and to keep their bank accounts active and personal details up to date. These grants are more than just money—they mean food, school fees, and hope for millions. By staying alert and reporting fraud through SASSA’s hotline, communities help protect this vital lifeline from being lost. The struggle to keep social grants safe is a shared fight for dignity and trust across South Africa.
