Reading Time: < 1 minute

Allegations of corruption with regard to pension grants for the elderly have been levelled against a micro-loan company at KwaXimba area outside Inchanga west of Durban.

It is alleged that the company dupes pensioners into signing loan agreements under the pretence of changing their Sassa cards.

Local Councillor Bongumusa Mkhize says he has reported the matter to police and they will embark on a campaign to inform pensioners.

“From our understanding, it is illegal cards because they have been changed from Sassa to these companies who are loan sharks, so that they borrow money illegally without their consent. Their reason when I ask them why they are here why Sassa ,they could not answer me. I then consulted Mr Gumede from the district Sassa in Ethekwini, he then confirmed to me that what is happening is illegal.”
