In order to administer social benefits on behalf of the Department of Social Development, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) was established as a national government agency in April 2005. Additionally, the Department of Social Development receives reports, providing national government oversight of social security (DSD).
The South African Constitution’s Bill of Rights acknowledges the socioeconomic rights of its citizens (Sections 24-29). As a result, the government gradually implements this individual right by utilizing other readily accessible resources as well as appropriate legal and other means. It should be made clear that SASSA is governed by the SASSA Act of 2004.
Sassa grants are due in May 2023-2024.
Various options exist for social assistance:
-
a pension for the aged, a grant for child support,
-
a grant for caring for a child who is seriously disabled,
-
a grant for veterans of war,
-
a grant for disabilities, assistance for foster kids;
-
Grant-in-aid, for people who require a full-time carer, and/or Social alleviation of distress, a temporary fix in the form of packages or vouchers for people who are in desperate need. Steyn has committed R320 million to the coronavirus relief effort.
