Payments for Social Security Agency (SASSA) is set to begin in mid-June, for a new round of Social Relief of Distress grants.
Over 10 million people, who
applied to receive the new round of R350 grants in April, were not paid over
the past two months. According to the Social Development Department the grant will
be provided until March 2023.
Dr. Kelle Howson is a senior
researcher at the Institute for Economic Justice said, “The grant needed to be
moved from the National State of Disaster to new regulations when the State of
Disaster ended. So, the process was seriously mismanaged and there was a
complete lack of communication and transparency from the government in what was
going on”
