How to Collect Your SASSA Grant
Every SASSA beneficiary now holds a payment card to collect their grants in South Africa.
The most convenient way of collecting your grant is simply by using the SASSA card for payments to purchase groceries. Or visit any VISA atm in South Africa to withdraw the grant money.
However, you can still collect your grant in cash at the SA Post Office. The SAPO will also assist with your card management should it be expired, lost, or any other issues.
Alternatively, you can collect the grant in various supermarkets in South Africa, including Shoprite and Pick n Pay.
