About 10 million unemployed South Africans benefitting from the R350 Covid-19 social relief of distress grant will now be able to withdraw money at any of the Shoprite Group stores, available at 1 286 supermarkets across South Africa.
Customers can now access their money at till points in any
Shoprite, Checkers, Usave and selected OK Foods supermarkets nationally.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, in his State of the nation
Address, announced that the R350 Covid-19 SRD grant will be extended by a
further 12 months. The move by Shoprite Group, enables customers to receive
their grant, buy essential groceries and pay their bills in a single location.
‘’To collect their grant in any Shoprite, Checkers, Usave
or selected OK Foods, customers simply need to provide their ID and cellphone number.
It must be the same cellphone number with which they registered on the SASSA
database, as a confirmation OTP will be sent to this number to prevent fraud,’’
said Patti Quinton from Shoprite.
‘’Grants are
available from this month for all customers who have already registered online or
at the Post Office. In-store registrations are not available,’’ she added.
