With thousands of recipients relying on their grants to buy school uniforms and stationery before the new school year starts, not to mention food, Eastern Cape Sassa spokesperson Tabisa Nondwayi-Mayaba confirmed that 23,000 beneficiaries in the province had been hit by a glitch in January. On Thursday, the Dispatch visited East London’s Sassa offices to investigate, only to find the offices had closed early because they did not have water.
