Where can I collect the payment?
You can collect your R350 SRD grants from Pick n Pay, Boxer, Shoprite, Checkers, USave and OK Foods stores.
The South African Post Office (Sapo) and Sassa advise those who get the grant to choose this payment option in their applications when applying for the grant.
Those who used to get their R350 grants at a post office should visit www.srd.sassa.gov.za and select an option to collect the grant from one of the supermarkets.
Gold card remains valid
Sassa reassured beneficiaries who use the gold card that they will receive their grants in December.
It said the gold card remains valid and acceptable on the national payment system, including at ATMs and retailers.
“Messages on social media that grant recipients will not receive their payments in December if they have not changed their cards are false.
“Any changes in the payment of social grants will be communicated through official Sassa social media platforms, through the media, and by Sassa officials and not through personal social media accounts or voice notes from unknown people,” said Sassa.
