SASSA Grant

SASSA Grant
Monthly cash from SASSA — the South African Social Security Agency. For pensioners, people with disabilities, caregivers. If SASSA is your main income, some lenders will give you a small loan, but they check hard that you can repay. It's your lifeline.

Usage Examples

"Palesa gets a SASSA older person's grant of R2,190 a month. That's all the income she has. When she applied for a Capitec loan, they did affordability checks. She got R3,000 but the monthly payment had to be under R200 so she could eat, pay rent, and keep electricity on."

"Thandi's mom receives a disability grant from SASSA — R1,500 a month. When the grant gets delayed (happens all the time), she spirals. Some FASTA and Boodle lenders understand SASSA income and will bridge the gap, but the interest is steep."

"Mpho gets the SASSA SRD grant of R370 a month when he's unemployed. It's barely enough to survive, but it's income that lenders see. African Bank offers microloans to SRD recipients, but the terms are tight — loan amount can't be more than your grant size."
