SASSA Debunks Fake News Circulating Online

Several unverified social media posts falsely claim SASSA pensioners need to resubmit documents to receive their payments. SASSA flagged these posts as false and misleading. SASSA warns the public not to trust or share information outside its official communication channels. The agency continues to urge beneficiaries to verify any news regarding SASSA grant payments directly through SASSA platforms or trusted government sources.

Grant beneficiaries who have not yet renewed their cards can rest assured they can still access their funds throughout May. However, SASSA gold cards are expected to expire at the end of May 2025, so recipients are encouraged to renew their cards before that time to avoid any issues in the following months.
