SASSA reminded beneficiaries that there is no need to rush to payment points on the first day of payment, as funds remain available in beneficiaries' accounts until they are needed.

The event also celebrated organisations that have supported the initiative continuously for the past five years.

Postbank Black Cards are available from selected retailers, including Shoprite, Checkers, Usave, Pick n Pay, Boxer and Spar stores.

After receiving their payment on the fourth payment day, affected beneficiaries are expected to visit their nearest SASSA office during August to complete the review process.

Mapepeza News Media has officially launched Khetha Khona, a public interest media campaign designed to empower voters with accessible, relevant, and unbiased information about candidates and political parties contesting in their local areas.

The Germiston Community Care & Partnership Outreach is expected to strengthen long-term partnerships that support community development while encouraging continued cooperation between local businesses and residents.

Beneficiaries are also legally required to report any significant changes in their financial, employment or marital circumstances.

The organisation said the majority of residents expected to be affected live in RDP houses and are unemployed, making the installation of smart meters an additional financial burden.

The MEC said the budget was intended to address poverty, unemployment, food insecurity, substance abuse, gender-based violence and social exclusion.

The department said the commemoration served as a reminder that protecting senior citizens is a shared responsibility and remains essential to building caring and inclusive communities across Gauteng.
