The Democratic Alliance has urged the ministers of Digital Technologies and Communications and Social Development to reverse the decision by the South African Post Office to stop paying out the R350 Social Relief of Distress grant at its branches.The SAPO said in a statement on Tuesday , that it will no longer pay the R350 grant as a part of its efforts to alleviate long queues at its branches.
“If you have already reapplied for your SRD grant, you can still select the option to collect your grant from any Pick n Pay, Boxer, Shoprite, Checkers or USave. Log on to srd.sassa.gov.za and respond to the security SMS you receive on your phone. You can then include merchants in your application and submit the updated application,” it said.
It said that the insistence by SAPO that its decision to stop paying the social relief grant at its branches will help “alleviate long queues” is not good enough. The DA said it will leverage all the parliamentary channels to oppose this move “and if needs be, we will pursue legal action”.
