Social Development Minister Sisisi Tolashe has moved to allay fears in Parliament, saying
social grants will not be disrupted when SASSA’s contract with Postbank ends on 30
September. MPs voiced concerns about oversight and possible panic among the three
million beneficiaries who use Postbank. But SASSA insists the bank remains fully licensed
and that payments will continue as normal. Phemelo unpacks this with the Chairperson of
the Portfolio Committee on Social Development, Bridget Masango.
