The department of social development recently announced that all eligible recipients, including those who received the grant previously, must reapply.
“Such delays cannot occur in the new applications process of the SRD grants. Sassa must therefore consider the delivery of existing grants where beneficiaries have already been vetted and verified,” she said.
“Grants play a critical role in improving the standards of living in society and ensuring the most vulnerable are protected from extreme poverty and hunger. It is therefore unfortunate that beneficiaries will not receive their grants as a result of this legality,” she said.
