Sassa has issued a warning that social grant beneficiaries are being deceived to take a certain bank card.
“The fraudsters spread wrong information claiming that the Sassa card will not have money beginning of the month of August 2018. Sassa would like to assure all social grant beneficiaries that the glitches experienced at the beginning of July have been resolved, their grant money will be on the new gold card as from 1st of August 2018,” Sassa Mpumalanga spokesperson, Senzeni Ngubeni, said.
Beneficiaries can make enquiries by visiting a Sassa office, an existing pay point, or post offices, where the new Sassa card swap is done.
The new Sassa card can be identified by the South African flag on the left side, Mastercard logo on the right and bears the Sassa insignia at the top.
The old Sassa card will be fully phased-out by 30 September 2018.
