Never Unauthorized Deductions.

Sibongile Mofokeng returns to the studi with Mr. Michael Mathe as they discuss the burning issue of Unauthorized Deductions. The mandate of the Agency is to ensure the provision of comprehensive social security services that protect against vulnerability and poverty, in line with the Constitution and relevant legislation. In line with Regulation 26A of the Social Assistance Act Regulations, the Agency may allow only one deduction per month not exceeding 10 per cent of the value of the beneficiary's social grant for a funeral policy issued by an insurer registered under the Long-term Insurance Act, 1998 (Act No. 52 of 1998) to be made directly from a social grant.
