More than 19 000 grant recipients in the Northern Cape are yet to transfer to the new social security agency SASSA gold card.
SASSA in the province is worried that beneficiaries will not meet the deadline of December 14.
SASSA’s provincial spokesperson Inno Khunou says beneficiaries who do not swap their cards before the cut-off date will not receive their grants in January.
She says 10, 9-million beneficiaries across the country are still in possession of the old card introduced earlier this year after the Post Office took over from Cash Payment Services.
