GRANT GAINS
THE South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) spent R267 billion on social grants in the 2024/2025 financial year.
Social Development Minister Sisisi Tolashe praised the performance of SASSA and its sister entity, the National Development Agency (NDA), for “turning the tide and improving the performance of the sector” during a presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Social Development in Parliament on Wednesday.
According to Tolashe, the R267 billion in spending includes the Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, which alone benefited more than 9 million South Africans.
Normal social grants also grew modestly by 0.6% from 19.1 million beneficiaries in March 2024 to 19.2 million in March 2025.
