1 hr agoIn a shocking twist of desperation meeting opportunism, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has raised alarm over a disturbing trend—people selling queue positions outside its offices. What should be a simple wait in line has now turned into an underground market where the vulnerable are forced to pay just to access essential services.
SASSA has strongly condemned this practice, describing it as illegal, exploitative, and deeply unjust. According to reports, the scheme primarily targets the elderly and people with disabilities—those who rely heavily on social grants to survive.
Even more troubling is the suggestion that organized groups may be involved, turning long queues into profit-making systems. SASSA has vowed to take firm action, including tightening security and working with law enforcement to dismantle these operations.
While the agency acknowledges its own service delivery challenges, it insists that inefficiencies cannot justify exploitation. Efforts are now underway to improve queue management and expand digital services to reduce overcrowding.
At its core, this issue reflects a painful reality—when systems struggle, the poorest often pay the highest price.
