#Sassa beneficiaries urged to update old cards | News Article

With less than a month to go to the deadline to apply for new Sassa cards, about half a million beneficiaries still need to make the switch.


According to acting Sassa CEO, Abraham Mahlangu, holding on to the old card puts beneficiaries at risk of losing their benefits. 

He says affected beneficiaries need to visit their nearest Sassa or post office to do a card swap before 15 December. 

They have to take along their ID and the old card so that they can be issued with the new one.

Social grants for December will be made available from as early as 28 November 2018 at post offices, stores and ATMs to avoid the December rush. Cash paypoints will, however, start paying from 3 December,” Mahlangu explained.

Beneficiaries seeking more clarity should call Sassa toll free on 0800 60 10 11 or visit Sassa news on Facebook and alternatively www.sassa.gov.za.
