The Minister of Finance, Enoch Godongwana has officially introduced which the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) will boost the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.
On the other hand, civil society organisations have claimed that the increase announced just isn't adequate, right after months of calling for an SRD grant improve.
Godongwana declared the R350 grant might be enhanced from 1 April 2024 by R20, or five.seven%, which makes it R370 a month.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has stated which the SRD grant, which has been a lifeline for here approximately nine million folks each month, has had a good impression and which the extension and improvement represent the government's up coming action towards bolstering revenue guidance with the unemployed.
