Postbank appeals to grant beneficiaries to ignore rumours that SASSA's gold card will no longer be used
Postbank has appealed to grant beneficiaries to ignore rumours circulating that the SASSA gold Card has been changed and no longer working. Postbank suspended ATM withdrawals on SASSA gold cards in December leaving some Social Relief of Distress grant recipients frustrated. Postbank says there was a system glitch which has since been resolved and beneficiaries can continue to access their money at ATM's, retailers as well as over the counter at the Post office branches. 29 million South African citizens receive grants from SASSA. Amina Accram filed this report.
