The South African Post Office has released the payment dates of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants for the month of February.
February is the shortest month of the year. This means that there will be less days for SRD grant beneficiaries to collect their money from the post office.
This is compounded by the fact that SRD grant payments won't be made on weekdays between 2 February 2022 and 10 February 2022.
It's important to note that the last three digits of your ID number determines on which days you may collect your SRD grant from the post office.

More than 10 million people are currently benefiting from the SRD grant. The grant is expected to come to an end in March 2022.
However, various organisations have been calling for the grant to be extended or for a Basic Income Grant to be introduced. President Cyril Ramaphosa is reportedly open to further engagement around this.
