The Star
|December 03, 2025
EXERCISE CAUTION
THE Department of Social Development (DSD) has warned South Africans to be on high alert after a fraudulent message claiming government has launched a new “National Family Support Allowance” began circulating widely on social media.
In the fake post, scammers allege that President Cyril Ramaphosa instructed Social Development Minister Nokuzola Sisisi Tolashe to open applications for a three-month allowance worth R1 682.
The Department has flatly rejected the message as false.
