Introduction
As April 2023 approaches, it is important for all South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) grant recipients to take note of their SASSA Gold Card expiry date. SASSA Gold Cards are debit cards issued by SASSA and Post Bank for the collection of grants at various pay points and to make purchases at retail shops or ATM withdrawals.
Recently, SASSA announced that those SASSA Gold Cards that have already expired in March 2023 will not be valid for April 2023 grants payments. Therefore, those who have not yet renewed their expired cards must visit their nearest Post Office or SASSA offices to get a new card.
For those whose cards expire in April 2023 (with the expiry inscription 04/2023), they will be able to collect their grants for the month of April. However, it is important to note that they will need to request a new card right after that to be able to receive subsequent months such as May 2023.

Renewal Process:
In the image below, thus the current arrangements made for the various categories of SASSA grants as to where they should visit the SAPO branch for the renewal and the documents to take along.
To renew an expired SASSA Gold Card, you must visit the nearest Post Office or SASSA offices. You will need to bring the following documents:
- Your original ID or passport
- Your current SASSA Gold Card (even if it has not yet expired or expired)
If you are unable to visit the Post Office or SASSA office in person, you can nominate someone to do it for you. They will need to bring the same documents listed above, as well as a letter of authority from you authorizing them to collect the new card on your behalf.
It is important to renew your SASSA Gold Card before the expiry date to avoid any disruptions in receiving your grants payments. SASSA has made it easy for you to renew your card by visiting the nearest Post Office or SASSA office.
Conclusion:
SASSA grant recipients must take note of the expiry date on their SASSA Gold Card. Those whose cards have already expired in March must renew their cards immediately, and those whose cards expire in April must renew them after collecting their grants for that month. To renew your card, visit your nearest Post Office or SASSA office and bring the necessary documents. Renewing your card before the expiry date will ensure that you continue to receive your grants payments without any disruptions.
