South Africa plans to introduce facial recognition verification

The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has said it plans to introduce facial recognition verification to confirm the identities of Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant beneficiaries.

This is according to Sassa spokesperson Paseka Letsatsi, who told Newzroom Afrika that the social security agency plans to implement biometric verification to crack down on social grant fraud.
 
I don't get it. If you receive more than R624 you don't qualify. How do these criminals register fake accounts for people most likely earning an income?

Make sure SASSA is aware.


there is over 99 per cent accuracy rate in recognizing white male faces. But, unfortunately, when it comes to recognizing faces of colour, especially the faces of Black women, the technology seems to manifest its highest error rate, which is about 35 per cent.”
I'm sure they will trial this first.

Cos the look the same probably.
 
I heard no 2 sphincters look alike, much like a leopards spots. Just use a rectal imaging camera for identification
Well neither do vags. There was an actual study done on that.
 
Thanks didn’t know Apple owns Hikvision.
I’m just saying that only Apple can make biometrics. Without the Apple logo, the odds are 100:1 or something.

If you add the logo, you get the most incredible accurate advanced biometric system known to man
 
But we were assured the cards have the highest security and fraud is impossible.

The cadres cannot and will never do anything properly.

Better give the logo to Ukraine. Will give them pinpoint accuracy.
 
Half of bloody Africa is on the take. When th comrades wipe the s hit out of their eyes there will be nothing left for them.
Begging bowl comes out.

Verlate staan die kragpale sonder drade
Swart lê die teerpaaie vol gate

Gelukkig is daar nog kragpale
Ongelukkig sonder drade
Gelukkig is daar nog teerpaaie
Ongelukkig vol gate

En sal hulle die ys uit Anartica
en al die sand in die Sahara
en die bome in Amerika
en die stene van die groot muur in China
kan wegdra
O Afrika
klaar weggedra
O Afrika

Gelukkig lê daar nog spoorlyne

Gelukkig is daar nog goeie banke oor

En sal hulle die ys uit Anartica

They want you locked into their database, luckily if you are self sufficient you can extend them a rigid middle digit, if you rely on the state for anything, they own you lock stock and smoking barrels.
