Bybursariesafrica

SASSA offers various social grant programs to assist eligible citizens.

One such program is the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, providing temporary financial support to individuals facing hardship.

Traditionally, SASSA grants were collected at post offices.

However, you now have the option to receive your R350 grant directly at Shoprite’s Money Market counters, offering potentially shorter queues and more convenient collection times.

This process is for registering to receive your grant at Shoprite, not for applying for the R350 grant itself.

You must first apply for the SASSA SRD Grant through SASSA’s official channels.
