National Treasury explained that social development will receive R1.1 trillion in the Medium Term Expenditure Framework for social grants and welfare services, and to strengthen advocacy for women, youth, and people with disabilities.
Sassa grants are paid at the Post Office on these dates. Alternatively, grant beneficiaries can collect their money at several retail stores including Pick N Pay, Boxer, Usave, Shoprite and Checkers.
Beneficiaries can also choose to have the grant paid directly to their bank account. This is an attractive option for many beneficiaries as it allows them to access their funds at any time.
Child care and old age grants continue to receive the majority of government spending, with the state expecting an increase in beneficiaries over the next three years. In 2023/24, 17.5 million beneficiaries will receive the two grants.
