sassa 350 grant appeal

The South African Social Security Agency has urged citizens and beneficiaries not to believe wide-spreading messages encouraging people to apply for the R350 SRD grant. The grant is currently unavailable until further official notice of its reinstatement by Sassa.

We've been hearing talks about Government introducing a basic income grant for months now but has anything solid been said yet? Social Development Minister, Lindiwe Zulu, has already addressed the possibility of the grant.

SASSA beneficiaries might have seen a message circulating on social media which says that R350 grant payments will not be administered for three months. To find out what SASSA has said about this and where it comes from, keep reading.

The Pietermaritzburg Economic Justice and Dignity is calling on the government to reintroduce the special relief grant. It says the cost of the average household food basket has increased by over R270 in the past ten months.

Minister Lindiwe Zulu has said that SASSA will start staggering grant payments from today. She also said that discussions on extending the Special Relief of Distress grant continue.

Everyday, thousands of South Africans beg SASSA to pay their missing R350 grant payments. Meanwhile, R11 million went to those who work in Government and even prisoners.

With the new month starting, SASSA has now clarified when the different grants they administer will be paid for July. SASSA issues grants to vulnerable South Africans all over South Africa.

Every week there's a fake message floating around trying to scam SASSA beneficiaries. Now, SASSA has had to clarify whether news of an extension to the R350 grant is real or not.

Now that applications for the R350 grant has closed and many calls have come for it to be extended, vulnerable South Africans are being taken advantage of. A message spread that SASSA has approved R700 payments which they have now clarified.

Even though the R350 grant has come to an end, SRD grant payments still continue. Some of these payments are done through the Post Office. A number of Post Offices will be closed around the country which could affect SASSA grant beneficiaries.
