The Issue: Network Overload on Post Office Payment Platform

The root cause of the payment glitches that some SASSA recipients have faced for the September 2023 payments lies in network overload on the Post Office payment platform. As the payment dates approached, an unexpectedly high volume of transactions and withdrawals placed immense pressure on the system.

This sudden surge in activity led to delays and disruptions, preventing some beneficiaries from accessing their funds promptly. We understand that this situation has caused anxiety and inconvenience for those affected, and for that, we sincerely apologize.

The Current Status: Identifying and Resolving the Issue

We recognize the critical importance of timely payments, especially for grants like the Old Age Pension Grants, which many depend on for their livelihoods.

Some Can Still Withdraw, While Others Face Delays

It’s important to note that while this issue has affected a portion of our beneficiaries, others have been able to withdraw their funds without any problems. This discrepancy is a direct result of the network overload’s impact on specific areas and payment methods.

What You Can Do: Continue Trying and Stay Informed

If you are among those who have experienced difficulties in withdrawing your September 2023 payment, we urge you to continue trying. As the system undergoes necessary adjustments and optimizations, your chances of successful withdrawals will improve. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this challenging period.
