The SA Post Office says SASSA beneficiaries who still use the old white card should have swapped it for the new gold card by 15 December 2018.
It says if they still have the old card, they will not be able to access their money on 28 December, and will first have to go to a local SASSA office or selected post office with their old card and ID document to obtain the new gold card.
The Post Office says it takes less than five minutes for the card to be issued.
The list of post offices that can swap cards are on the website - postoffice.co.za
The January money of beneficiaries with old cards will be paid into a gold SASSA card, and will be able to make withdrawals after obtaining a new card.
