Postbank's MSA termination won't disrupt social grants, says Sassa

September 29, 2025

WHILE Sassa welcomed the North Gauteng High Court dismissal of Postbank’s urgent application to halt the termination of a crucial Master Services Agreement (MSA), Postbank has warned that the ruling could have serious implications for the livelihoods of millions relying on social grants.

- THOBEKA NGEMA

Judge Colleen Collis dismissed Postbank’s urgent application, citing a lack of urgency. The judge noted that Postbank had been aware of Sassa’s intent to terminate the MSA since March 2024.

Sassa CEO Themba Matlou said the judgment confirmed Sassa’s long-held position that the termination of the MSA will not affect or interrupt social grant payments to beneficiaries who receive their grants via Postbank.
