In January, the Gauteng High Court found, among other things, the requirement for grant recipients to apply online for the R370 grant was invalid.
JOHANNESBURG - The minister of social development and the South African Social Security Agency are appealing a judgment which declared the 2023 regulations that governed the distribution of the social relief of distress grants as unconstitutional and invalid.
The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria declared as unconstitutional regulation 3 to the extent that it provides for SRD grant applications to be lodged on an electronic platform only. They say he should have considered that the COVID-19 grant was introduced during the hard lockdown in the country and that the only way to roll out the grant was for applications to be made online.
