SASSA: Here are the SRD grant payment dates for April
SASSA said that the approved beneficiaries for April will be processed from 25 to 30 March.
The agency said beneficiaries are encouraged to view their status on the SRD website for the exact date that payment will reflect into their bank accounts.
Normally, funds take about two to three working days to reflect in the beneficiary's account after payment has been processed. SASSA GOLD CARDS REMAIN VALID
Meanwhile, SASSA has confirmed that the gold cards remain valid following a directive issued by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).
Additionally, the issuing of the Postbank black cards has been suspended indefinitely in sites across the country.
The deadline for the SASSA-issued gold cards was initially set for 31 December 2023. However, it was postponed to December 2024 and later to 28 February 2025, which was also extended to 31 May. Many beneficiaries reportedly had not yet switched to the new Postbank black cards.
Portfolio Committee on Social Development chairperson Bridget Masango said the SARB instructed Postbank, with the guidance of SASSA, to ensure that beneficiaries who have not yet migrated to the black cards can use their gold cards and receive their grants and that there is minimal disruption while they are moving to alternative sources, such as their bank of choice.

Sassa sounds alarm over unlawful insurance deductions
Sassa CEO Themba Matlou emphasised that the agency lacks any legal power to authorise deductions without proper beneficiary consent. The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has raised concerns about a growing trend of unauthorised deductions from social grant payments by financial service providers. The agency reported on Thursday that it has been flooded with complaints from beneficiaries who discovered their grant money was being deducted by insurance companies they never signed up with. Many affected beneficiaries mistakenly believed Sassa had partnerships with these companies, prompting the widespread confusion about the legitimacy of the deductions. Sassa distances itself from insurance companies The agency has made it clear that it does not work with these financial service providers. 'Sassa has consistently distanced itself from any insurance company that uses the good name of the agency to achieve its goals,' it stated. Sassa CEO Themba Matlou said the agency lacks any legal power to authorise deductions without proper beneficiary consent. 'We have the utmost respect for our beneficiaries and the Act governing social assistance in the country, and we will never do anything to shortchange our clients,' Matlou said. ALSO READ: Sassa responds to social grant deduction complaints The CEO stressed the fundamental principle governing social grants. 'Your money is your money, if you qualify for a grant, the money belongs to you and as Sassa we have no right, nor authority to dictate how you utilise it,' he stated. Legal framework prohibits unauthorised partnerships Matlou stated that Sassa cannot legally collaborate with funeral schemes and insurance companies. The CEO urged all victims to visit their nearest Sassa office to report these incidents for investigation. Sassa also provided an alternative reporting method. 'Alternatively, clients who dispute signing a funeral policy with the financial services provider are advised to immediately dispute the deduction by sending an SMS to 34548 with their identity number and the financial services provider's name,' it said. Sassa advised that affected beneficiaries should also directly contact the insurer or financial services provider to cancel any unauthorised policies. ALSO READ: Ex-post office manager loses R140k in pension after Sassa fraud sentence Legal deduction requirements under Social Assistance Act Sassa reiterated that it operates under strict legal guidelines regarding any deductions from social grants. According to Regulation 29 of the Social Assistance Act of 2004, the agency can only permit specific types of deductions under limited circumstances. The agency explained that the regulation allows one deduction per month that cannot exceed 10% of the beneficiary's social grant value. Additionally, Sassa said this deduction can only be for funeral policies issued by insurers registered under the Long-term Insurance Act of 1998. The law requires explicit beneficiary consent through electronic or other forms of communication. The beneficiary must submit this consent directly to Sassa through electronic communication or other approved methods. ALSO READ: Sassa calls on senior officials to assist beneficiaries during August grant review Child grants and disability grants protected Sassa emphasised that certain grant categories remain completely protected from any deductions. 'It is important to emphasise that funeral deductions are not permitted from child-related grants, such as the Child Support Grant, Care Dependency Grant, or Foster Child Grant,' the agency stated. Temporary Disability Grants also fall under complete protection from funeral deductions. These grants cannot have any amounts deducted regardless of beneficiary consent or circumstances.

Warren Hammond's Personal View: March 2016 Forecast 'The USA - The next 18 years' at the halfway mark
' Radical change, transformation, and upheaval ' – in a note released on March 14, 2016, I forecasted that these characteristics would define the USA's next 18 years. Nearly a decade later, the picture is clear. The forecast was designed to inform investment choices, providing a framework for regional, asset class, sector, and security selection, to ensure decisions were both well-informed and highly effective in investment selection and duration. I identified three key areas where change would be most visible and landscape-shaping: Technology Boom: Exponential, accelerating growth across all things technical. Debt Reckoning: An inevitable restructuring of finance, breaking the cycle of cheap money and debt-led consumption. Environmental Revolution: Sweeping policy changes, with water at the centre. I noted that the USA had entered a long-term pattern of radical change, transformation, innovation, and upheaval. It wasn't just policy shifts; a structural overhaul was essential to heal its dependence on cheap money, debt-led consumption, and risky investment. The political backdrop was already unconventional, and the Clinton vs. Trump race signalled that the USA had entered a non-traditional era of leadership choices, reflecting broader systemic shifts. Based solely on the characteristics of this forecast, with no personal preference or bias, The Personal View, in a separate note reiterated throughout 2016, forecast Donald Trump's first presidential win. The original note warned that while long-term results could be positive, the cycle would be marked by volatility and upheaval, especially as debt and risky investment remained 'the nectar of the Gods'. I wrote that the USA might face significant brand damage and public discredit before structural reform and overhaul could take hold. On the environmental side, I foresaw not just policy shifts but a revolution in attitudes toward managing natural resources, with water playing a pivotal role. Almost 10 years on, how close was this to today's reality? Looking ahead to 2033, will these trends continue? Remember, for The Personal View, 'expected' in the context of this forecast, was stated as being 'disorderly, disruptive, fiery, unexpected, and transformative change that upends the status quo, sweeps away what has served historically, and installs deep structural change'. In 2016, I closed the note with a challenge: 'In 18 years, we will see to what extent this view is verifiable.' At the halfway point, that question remains open and is worth asking again today. Do these trends reflect what you see unfolding in the USA? Share your perspective and join the conversation on the next 18 years of transformation.

Shell and Total dealt devastating South Africa offshore drilling blow
The Western Cape High Court has refused environmental authorisation for offshore drilling in a venture led by French energy giant TotalEnergies off South Africa's west coast, in a ruling on Thursday. The High Court said on Wednesday the environment ministry's 2023 go-ahead for exploratory operations in the roughly 10 000-square-kilometre block near Cape Town had been 'reviewed and set aside'. Environmental lobby groups that launched a legal challenge against the project said it would harm marine life. The block is jointly owned by South Africa's state oil company PetroSA, TotalEnergies and British oil heavyweight Shell, with the French firm serving as the operator. In a statement to AFP, TotalEnergies said the venture complied with all required local regulations, including environmental and social, from the outset and it would assess the judgement. Although it had already announced its exit from exploration in the block, it remains 'fully committed to respecting the judicial process to its term', the company said. In overturning the environmental permit, the judge Nobahle Mangcu-Lockwood said TotalEnergies could reapply for authorisation after public consultation. Green Connection, one of the groups that filed the legal challenge, said the ruling was a major victory for coastal communities and small-scale fishers. 'Oil spill and blowout contingency plans were kept from the public until after approval, denying communities a chance to comment,' it said in a statement. Interest in oil and gas exploration off South Africa's coast has surged in recent years, driven in part by major discoveries across the maritime border in Namibia and broader energy activity in southern Africa, including Mozambique. The Natural Justice group of environmental lawyers said Wednesday's judgement affirmed that all companies needed to follow due process before seeking the green light for oil exploration off South Africa. 'We will continue to turn to our courts to not only stop the takers who parade under the guise of growth and development, but to ensure that impacts of oil and gas exploration and production are properly scrutinised and that our people and our resources are not exploited,' it said.
