Lentswe, Klerksdorp - It’s the 20th year since establishment in 2004, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) continues its crucial role in administering grants across the nation.
These grants, vital to almost one-quarter of the population, alleviate 60% of expenses for South Africa’s neediest citizens. As per Statista, approximately 18 million South Africans battle extreme poverty, surviving on less than R35 per day. The impact of grants in the fight against poverty cannot be overstated
Given the challenges faced by the South African Post Office in 2023, cash payments at SAPO branches will be phased out by March this year.
The payment dates for February:
* Older Persons Grants: Friday February 2.
* Disability Grants: Monday February 5.
* Children’s Grants: Tuesday February 6.
SASSA emphasizes that payments may take 2-3 days to reflect in some bank accounts.
Staying informed about these crucial dates ensures timely access to funds for beneficiaries.
