No double grant payments or new rules for June - SASSA
The Mercury
|May 19, 2025
THE South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has dismissed rumours circulating on social media platforms that beneficiaries will receive double grant payments in June and that new rules for pensioners are set to come into effect next month.
SASSA said these fake reports have been causing panic among its more than 19 million beneficiaries. The agency emphasised that the only grant increases announced were those made in the Ministry of Finance's Policy Statement in March and that the next official increase is scheduled for October.
