In 2025, South Africa will change how SASSA pension payments are made, moving away from the old gold card system to newer, safer methods. Beneficiaries will need to visit their local SASSA office, bring the right documents, and ask to switch payment methods before the 15th of each month to ensure they receive their money on time. This transition aims to make payments easier and more secure, especially for those living far from service points. As the deadline approaches, communication and support will be vital to help everyone adjust smoothly to this new way of receiving their pensions.
