What Is The SRD Grant?

The SRD grant was initially introduced as a temporary form of social relief, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the heavy lockdowns that followed, but due to the support it provided to the most vulnerable of South African citizens, the grant has been extended on multiple occasions.  

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) provides individuals with a social grant to help pay for monthly essentials.

SASSA introduced the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant to help those who are unemployed and not receiving any other form of social assistance. 

SASSA is a government agency in South Africa responsible for administering social grants to eligible citizens depending on their financial status. SASSA was established in 2005 and is responsible for the distribution of social grants, such as the Old Age Pension, Disability grant, Child Support grant, and others.

SASSA's mandate is to provide a social security net for the vulnerable and needy members of society, particularly those who are unable to support themselves financially.

The R350 SRD Grant is available to South African citizens, permanent residents, asylum seekers and special permit holders if they are without any income source. The success of the SRD grant has encouraged those who support the introduction of a Basic Income Grant in South Africa.
