Sassa’s office in Johannesburg will close down for a while starting Monday September 15, 2025.
This happened because some workers were caught doing illegal things.
Eight staff members were arrested for fraud & had to go to court in Lenasia.
The boss of Sassa, Themba Matlou said they don’t accept any bad behavior from their workers. He made it clear that everyone who breaks the rules will face punishment.
The office will stay closed until they fix all the problems. They haven’t said when it will open again. This change will affect many people who use Sassa’s services in Johannesburg.

“We need to hold everyone responsible for what they did. The office had to close for now, which is bad. But we are working on ways to help our customers” Matlou said.
SASSA will move their staff to new locations in & around Johannesburg. These spots include Westbury Clinic South Hills Community Hall and Cosmo City Multipurpose Centre. This change will help people keep getting their social services. The staff will work at these new places to serve the local communities better.
The locations will be open at different times during the week. You can visit Westbury on Mondays and Tuesdays between 8 am & 3 pm. Cosmo City is open on Thursdays and Fridays. South Hills welcomes visitors on Mondays. We also offer services at other places. You can find us at South Rand Community Hall and recreation centers in Malvern Jeppestown and Yeoville. These services help people in South Hills Glenanda Berea Yeoville Hillbrow and Braamfontein. We will post the dates for these locations soon.
Sassa is making changes to better help people who need their services. The staff will keep working behind the scenes to handle questions and new requests.
They want to cut down on fraud and make sure people trust them again. The Sassa team asks people in Johannesburg to be patient while these changes happen.
