The post office is hoping to get other supermarkets, including Spar, on board to enable people from small towns to collect their R350 grants at the store's collection points.
Sapo pleaded with beneficiaries to wait for an SMS from Sassa confirming their collection payout point as either a Pick n Pay or Boxer store before making their way to the collection points.
“The recipient will need the cellphone to collect the grant. The cellphone is necessary for the recipient to approve the payment,”“You have to approve the payment yourself on the cellphone you used to apply for the grant. Forwarding the SMS to a new number will not work.”The grant applicant receives an SMS from Sassa confirming their successful application.
Pick n Pay collection points exclude BP Pick n Pay Express, Pick n Pay Clothing and Pick n Pay Liquor stores.The beneficiary must take their ID and physical cellphone to the store when collecting their grant.
