Latest SASSA Pensions News and Updates
The new updates from the SASSA, demonstrate the continued work to guarantee that payment is timely and to enhance the system of the social grant. The USA is now improving its digital platforms to improve customer service and cut down on wait times in response to several faults. To make sure that the vulnerable people get sufficient help, there are also efforts to increase the program outreach.
The SASSA is now also attempting to strengthen systemic integrity and reduce fraud. New verification procedures are made to check the information of the persons. The main goal of this is that many people get the assets they require.
Whats the point when you have thieving idiots running the show the plan is impoverish all so that the state through its largess will “help” the peasants to survive in return for their VOTE.
It is really a disgrace the SASSA for elder people. This money can’t pay rent, buy food and not even electricity. There are people who pay rent etc. Food is so high priced that we can’t live and eat properly. Govt cut your salary to help us live and give a decent amount.
This Money is not enough because Old People need to see Doctors, buy Groceries, Disabled People need to spend Money to look for themselves, I mean at least if it’s more than R3000
So true we need more please
This is not a salary bro please
I have a problem I didn’t receive the child support grant of Nokwanda Alicia Mathonsi for the month of October 2024 and I don’t know why.

From when will the old age grant. Increase
Even if the increase is R20 from R350 to 370 it’s as good as no increase what can these people do with R370 they need to eat clothe buy medication when sick worse others have families to provide for,with R370? That’s a joke, better give them jobs instead of these peanuts

Yes please look after us, and give us an increase that we can live with from month to month, the money we are getting dont even last half a month as we also have stuff to pay and we need to eat
Why bother, we as pensioners can not live on that R20. And the dates are out of control because if on chronic medication you can’t get your follow-up. The dates should go back to before Covid19.

We appreciate what the government is doing but I personally think that they can do better since the standard/cost of living is so high in our country. We need too keep up with the times. I suggest maybe increase the support money and then also increase particular taxes, yes including VAT 😉.
I just decided to forget about srd because this month approved following 3 months declined worse they doing that in November and December January so I can’t even buy something for my kids just whatever it’s your world sassa.
