The South African Social Security Agency has made a U-turn on the renewal of expired gold cards, saying beneficiaries can use the cards until December.
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.
Members of Parliament (MPs) were debating what measures to take following the Post Office’s provisional liquidation and the negative impact this would have on the payment of social grants.
