Chairperson of the SA Post Office Board of Directors,

Ms Colleen Makhubele, will on 12 June 2020 officiate at the Limpopo launch of the SAPO cashless ATM Solution in Ga Molepo near Polokwane.

In a response to calls for more innovative ways of distributing social grants, the South African Post Office (SAPO) will on Friday 12 June, launch the first of its new cashless ATMs in Limpopo.

This cashless ATM will be the first of its kind to serve as additional payment points for SASSA social grants in the Polokwane area, and will be located next to Sehlale Clinic in Ga Molepo.

The cashless ATMs come at a time where Government carries the responsibility to develop effective measures to not only decongest the existing social grant payment points, but as well as create measures that will ensure the sustainable cash injection of revenue into township and rural economies.

This rollout marks the commencement of SAPO’s roll-out of more than 10,000 of the cashless ATM devises to be placed in establishments such as spaza shops and other applicable township and rural businesses.

Ms Makhubele will be joined by Mr John Mpe, the Executive Mayor of Capricorn District Municipality.

The details of the launch are as follows:

Date: 12 June 2020
Time: 09:00 am
Venue: Briefing session at Corner Landdros Mare and Bodenstein St, Polokwane; then moving to merchant next to Sehlale Clinic, Ga Molepo, Polokwane District, Limpopo.
