What the R10 Increase Really Means for You
SASSA announced a R10 increase in social grants. Some South Africans think this amount is too small compared to rising prices. However SASSA says this shows the government wants to help people in need. The small increase helps poor people get by during tough budget times. SASSA might give more money later if the economy improves and they have enough funds. They promised that people will get their grants on time in November & their payment system works well.
What You Should Do If You’re a Grant Beneficiary
SASSA tells all people who get grants to look at their payment details. They should also make sure their bank information is correct in the SASSA system. People who get their grants through bank deposits will see the new payment amount in their accounts on their regular payment date.
