The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) distributes Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants to vulnerable individuals across the country.

“If you choose to receive your grant via a bank account, ensure that you are the account holder. Sassa will not deposit the grant into another person’s account. If you opt for the money transfer option through a major bank, your mobile number must also be registered in your name.”
