The South African Post Office has assured South Africans who receive social grants - whether related to the pandemic or not - that the payments they receive from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) will not be hindered by country's post office's current financial problem.
“The funds for social grants come from National Treasury through the Department of Social Development and are not funded from the revenue of the South African Post Office.
“The SA Post Office experienced a dramatic reduction in revenue during the lockdown period and is currently looking at ways to improve cash flows,” the Post Office said in a statement.
