12 March 2024 - NW139
Masango, Ms B to ask the Minister of Social Development
What portion of the amounts of (a)(i) R59 256 000 and (ii) R50 372 000 in the 202122 and 2022-23 financial years, respectively, has been recovered and (b) R31 928 000 has been recovered since 1 April 2023, where the SA Social Security Agency erroneously paid grants to deceased beneficiaries?
Reply:
a) (i0(ii)(iii) The reply to Question 4207, was for total grant overpayments of Post Bank clients. Data related to payments and debts, including recoveries, is housed on two different systems, and requires an extensive cross referencing of the two data sets to answer the question in its current form. This will also require remapping of data across multiple years.
With regard to recoveries, refer to the table below:

FY 2021-2022 |
FY 2022-2023 |
