Planning for the Festive Season

The festive season is almost there in South Africa. The people of South Africa are happy and are preparing for the festivals. However, the people who are the beneficiaries of the various SASSA grants have become stressed as they do not have the money for their survival and how they will save the money for the celebration of the festivals. 

Currently, SASSA officials do not announce that any incentives will be given to the beneficiaries ahead of the festive season. We advise all of the beneficiaries of the SASSA grants should manage their finances carefully. They should keep some money for the celebration in their family. 

SASSA has promised to disburse the grant amount earlier than the usual dates. The beneficiaries of the SASSA grants need to adjust their budget for the December 2024 month carefully so that their family will enjoy the festival and other needs are met.

If there is any festive incentive for the SASSA beneficiary, the SASSA will update that on the SASSA official website, we advise you to keep checking the SASSA web portal regukary for the latest updates.
