SASSA wants to remind non-smartphone users that they do not need to choose the EFT payment method for their social grants. SASSA encourages these individuals to instead opt for traditional methods of receiving payments, such as cash paypoints or SASSA cards.

This decision is made in order to protect non-smartphone users from potential fraud and scams, as well as ensuring easy access to their funds. SASSA urges beneficiaries or applicants who do not have a smartphone or do not feel comfortable using EFT to speak with a SASSA representative about alternative payment options.

It is important for all SASSA beneficiaries and applicants to stay informed and make choices that best suit their needs. SASSA will continue working to provide safe and accessible payment options for all individuals receiving social grants.

Since March 2012, just under 22 million South Africans have been receiving social grants to help alleviate poverty and support vulnerable individuals and families. These grants include the old age pension, disability grant, child support grant, care dependency grant, and foster child grant.

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is responsible for administering these grants and ensuring that they reach their intended recipients. However, there have been issues with SASSA's management of the grants, leading to calls for reform and improved oversight.

Critics argue that the current system is susceptible to fraud and corruption, with millions of rands being lost each year. In addition, there have been concerns about beneficiaries not receiving their payments on time or in full.

Despite these challenges, social grants continue to play an important role in reducing poverty and supporting individuals and families in need. It is crucial for SASSA to address these concerns and ensure the effective and equitable distribution of social grants.

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has faced numerous challenges and scandals in recent years, including fraud and mismanagement of grant funds. As a result, the government implemented a new system for SASSA to ensure accountability and prevent future issues.

One of the main components of this system is strict oversight and monitoring measures. SASSA officials are now required to undergo regular audits and their performance is closely evaluated. Additionally, beneficiary information is thoroughly verified to prevent fraudulent grant claims.

These stringent measures have already shown positive effects, with a decrease in reported cases of fraud and misuse of funds. The government continues to work towards improving SASSA and providing efficient aid to those who truly need it on their payment dates.

This lack of access to financial services leaves many South Africans unable to save, build credit, and plan for the future. Despite efforts from the government and private sector, there are still significant barriers preventing individuals from accessing these necessary tools.

These barriers include geographical distance from banks, high fees for services, lack of proper identification documents, and a mistrust in the banking system. Without access to basic financial tools, individuals are forced to rely on informal methods such as “stokvels” or borrowing from loan sharks with exorbitant interest rates.
