ICYMI: Here’s when you can collect your SASSA grant in October

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has released the October payment dates for social grants.

SASSA is responsible for distributing grants and allowances to disadvantaged people who require financial assistance in South Africa.

Beneficiaries can receive their SASSA payments from selected supermarkets, such as Pick n Pay, Boxer, USave merchants, Checkers and Shoprite, and obtain this through their SASSA card, CashSend, or by getting the amount directly transferred into their bank account.
