Beneficiaries given more time to swap Sassa cards for Postbank cards

The deadline for SASSA beneficiaries to exchange their SASSA Gold Card for the Postbank Black Card has been extended to 20 March 2025, as announced by Ministers Solly Malatsi and Nokuzola Tolashe in a joint press release.
Grant payments will continue as usual after 20 March, but beneficiaries must visit a Post Office branch to access their funds if they have not exchanged their cards by then.
The government departments are increasing staff capacity and deploying mobile offices to assist beneficiaries, particularly in rural areas.
In a joint statement, the ministers expressed their trust that the extension would provide much-needed time for grant recipients, addressing concerns from beneficiaries who faced difficulties in the transition.
