Sassa beneficiaries urged to get new cards
It is very important for all beneficiaries using the old Sassa card to swap their cards by the end of September.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has been inundated with enquiries from beneficiaries indicating that they still have money on their old Sassa cards and that they want to move to the new gold Sassa cards.
Sassa has requested that these beneficiaries collect their remaining social grant money on the old Sassa card by September 2018.
This is in line with the Constitutional Court ruling that provided Sassa with a six-month contract extension period for phasing in the South African Post Office and phasing out Cash Paymaster Services.
