The South Africa Social Security Agency (Sassa) says over 99 000 grant beneficiaries who have not yet collected their new gold cards.
Last December, Sassa completed their switch to a new gold card, effectively swapping over seven million old cards.
However, there are over 99,000 beneficiaries who have not yet presented themselves at a Sassa or Post Office to collect their new cards since then.
Sassa says two-thirds of social grants go to the child support grant and it isn’t fair on the children for parents to fail to collect the new card.
“This is quite concerning, given the fact that failure to collect the new Sassa card on time is to deny yourself a constitutional right to social security,” said Sassa Acting CEO Abraham Mahlangu.
“We once more urge our beneficiaries to visit our offices and collect their cards so that they can be able to provide for their families and especially children.”
Sassa says if social grant beneficiaries are not collected in three successive months it can be assumed that they have perhaps found a source of income.
