They are alleged to have orchestrated a sophisticated scheme involving the creation of fake SASSA profiles.
They are accused of fraudulently depositing and later withdrawing more than R4-million at various SASSA pay points across the country.
The matter was postponed to 2 September for further investigation.
“As the NPA, we accept the ruling of the Lanesia Magistrates Court to grant bail to the 10 accused in the SASSA fraud case, as it marks only a stage in the legal process and is by no means the end of the case,” said NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwana.
