Two Stellenbosch University students, Veer Gosai together with Joel Cedras says they have found numerous suspected fraudulent applications in SASSA's social grant payment system for the Social Relief of Distress Grant. The pair have been addressing the Portfolio Committee on Social Development  in parliament where they detailed alleged weaknesses in the system. The two first year students say their findings where triggered through an extensive investigation into whether or not they themselves had social grant applications made with their ID numbers. On confirming this, they then conducted a survey by asking fellow students to submit their own ID numbers for verification. Here is a snippet of their findings explained in their own words in Parliament.
