Ward 36 councillor Wendy Morgan has given the following update on the collection of Sassa grants.<\/p>\n

Pensioner and disability grants will be paid on March 30 and 31, while all other grants will be available from April 1.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cPick n Pay Primrose will not be doing Sassa payouts during the lockdown,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>\n

\u201cShoprite will, however, be doing Sassa payments from 7.30am to 6pm.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cPlease remember to practice social distancing.\u201d<\/p>\n

She reminded the community that Sassa grants can be drawn from ATMs and that the money does not have to be withdrawn on the specific days, but will remain on a person\u2019s card until it is withdrawn.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no panic to access your money,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She also urged people to assist the elderly where possible so that they are not vulnerable.<\/p>\n
