RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - The deadline for SASSA beneficiaries to swap their gold cards for the new Postbank black cards has been extended until next month.
The deadline has been extended to 20 March, allowing more time for a smooth transition.
Grants of beneficiaries who haven’t exchanged their cards by then, will still be paid, but they will need to visit their nearest Post Office branch to access their funds.
The 20 March deadline marks the date when the SASSA gold cards will stop working - not the last day to apply for the new card.
After 20 March, beneficiaries will still be able to apply for and receive their black Postbank cards.
