The arrest follows after the suspects were seen withdrawing money at an ATM. 

Sassa spokesperson, Ofentse Morwane, says police arrested the duo after a tip-off was received from patrollers deployed at the mall by the Gauteng Department of Community Safety.

The suspects are believed to be loan sharks who took the cards from Sassa beneficiaries. 

The duo is currently detained at the Sebokeng Police Station while investigations continue.
