What is the Importance of SASSA Grants for South African Residents?

South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has been a lifeline for many of their country, offering vital support to those in need and paving the way for a brighter future. According to Statista, total population of South Africa in 2022 was 60.6 million. An estimated 30% of which are living in extreme poverty, and almost 22% of the total population are those who have no income at all.

According to the State of the Nation Address (SoNA) reports of 2024, more than 26 million people in South Africa get social grants. About 9 million unemployed people get the SRD grant alone. The Child Support Grant helps over 12 million children, making sure they have food, clothes, and education until they turn 18.

SASSA also supports disabled people and those over 60 years old. The Older Persons Grant helps over 3.5 million elderly South Africans, and the Disability Grant helps over 1 million disabled people with medical treatments, assistive devices, and daily expenses.
