sassa balance check

If you are a Sassa grant recipient who has recently come across social media messages asking you to replace your Sassa card, you might want to think again.

Some beneficiaries of the R350 grant might not have smartphones and while these handheld gadgets may serve them in various ways, they do not need them to access the grant. This is how Sassa has structured their SRD grant payment collection methods to accommodate beneficiaries without smartphones. 

When the R350 grant's continuation was announced last month, rumours that it would be terminated the next year were put to rest. But does this extension mean that current recipients should reapply?
