Important Notification: Renewal of Over 5.2 Million Expiring SASSA Gold Cards Due By December 31, 2023
An urgent call to all SASSA gold card receivers! Over 5.2 million SASSA gold cards are set to expire by the end of this year, specifically by December 31, 2023. Earlier in the year, the validity of numerous SASSA Gold cards was extended, but this period is soon coming to a close. Card beneficiaries are hence urged to expedite their card replacements before the imminent deadline.
We are on a clock – But So Are Your SASSA Cards
It is critically significant for SASSA cardholders that their cards, totalling approximately 5.3 million, are due to expire by December 31, 2023. This leaves less than a three-month duration for beneficiaries to replace their SASSA cards. This call can’t be stressed enough, as these cards grant beneficiaries important social services.
Where to Collect the New SASSA Cards
Never fear, SASSA gold card beneficiaries! Your replacements can be picked up swiftly and conveniently at your local Post Office. For all those who are currently carrying expiring gold cards, replacements are at hand.
In a recent discussion between VISA and the South African Reserve Bank, it was stated that Postbank could extend the validity of expiring cards if replacements are not available by December 31. This contingency plan is yet another safety net to ensure that all recipients receive continuous access to their benefits.
