In his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on February 6, 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the SASSA SRD R370 Grant will continue and be improved. This is great news for the 10 million South Africans who depend on this grant to survive.
What is the SASSA SRD R370 Grant?
The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant started in May 2020 to help people who had no jobs or income, especially during COVID-19. It was supposed to be temporary, but because many South Africans still need financial help, the government has kept it going.
What Did the President Say?
Before the SONA speech, there was fear that the SRD grant would end in March 2025, as the rules currently say. However, President Ramaphosa has now confirmed that the grant will not stop. Instead, it will continue and even be improved.
