Sassa has again addressed fake social media posts claiming that older persons' grant payments will not be processed in May 2025. They indicated that messages being spread on social media contain incorrect information.
As Sassa, we would like to confirm that the message is incorrect and fake. This message is mischievous, and we urge our beneficiaries not to panic, as no grant will be cancelled.
The post in question claims that beneficiaries of the older persons grant will be reviewed in May. It also advises beneficiaries to submit relevant documentation to ensure they receive May 2025 grant payments.
Sassa explained that grant reviews may occur during a particular time during the year. It's important to note that Sassa will contact grant beneficiaries directly should their grant payment be under review.
Sassa only reviews grants that need to be reviewed at a particular time and that is communicated to the beneficiaries whose grant is to be reviewed before any action is taken.
The head of communication at Sassa Paseka Letsatsi called on beneficiaries to only rely on reputable sources for updates on Sassa grants. They further cautioned beneficiaries against sharing unverified information.
Before anyone can share any information pertaining to social grants, they must first verify its authenticity to avoid disseminating false information that may cause anxiety and stress to our beneficiaries.
