Following several payment issues in September, Postbank has assured Sassa grant beneficiaries that it has technicians on standby to ensure a quick response time should any problems occur.
Social development minister Lindiwe Zulu is confident the social grants payment system will improve. Last week, technical difficulties resulted in 600,000 beneficiaries not being paid on time.
CEO Busisiwe Memela-Khambula told MPs on Friday that the dysfunctional South African Post Office (Sapo), which is under provisional liquidation, was also making matters worse for social grant recipients.
