The Minister of Finance, Enoch Godongwana has officially declared the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) will improve the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.

On the other hand, civil society organisations have mentioned that the increase introduced is not really enough, soon after months of contacting for an SRD grant raise.

Godongwana declared which the R350 grant will be increased from one April 2024 by R20, or five.seven%, which here makes it R370 per 30 days.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has explained the SRD grant, which has been a lifeline for approximately nine million persons every month, has had a favourable effect and which the extension and improvement symbolize the government's next move toward bolstering cash flow help for the unemployed.
