Every month, the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) provides permanent social grants to a staggering number of 18 million beneficiaries. These grants serve as a crucial lifeline for individuals in need, helping them meet their basic needs and improve their quality of life.
Additionally, the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant was introduced as a temporary measure to support those who experienced job losses and suffered the economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.
