Parliament of the Republic of South Africa Main Stream

The committee believes that the deadline for the validity of the SASSA Gold Cards should be extended in conjunction with a properly resourced and statistically improved rollout plan for the Postbank Black Cards. Extending the deadline without an improved rollout plan will prolong beneficiaries' frustration and panic.

The Portfolio Committee on Social Development has called on the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) to ensure that all beneficiaries have access to Postbank sites so that they can migrate to the new Postbank Black Cards before the deadline to receive their March 2025 social grants.
