Debt to who and for what? Upon further investigation and correspondence with SASSA, it came to light that, these applicants have an issue with SASSA.

According to the explanation given by SASSA regarding this debtor status for the unemployment grant of R350, those who see this on their status owe SASSA.

In what sense do they owe SASSA? someone may ask

After the disbursement of funds in the previous SRD R350 grants payments, auditors went through the payment documentations of SASSA, as it is usually done in government institutions and agencies.

It was there that the revelation came that some applicants did not deserve to be paid the grant because they did not qualify in the first place.
