Asylum seekers with valid permits and caregivers will now also be allowed to apply for the reinstituted social relief of distress grant
“We will start making the first payments by the end of August 2021. Everyone has to reapply,” Zulu said. “All applications will be treated as new applications, even those who were receiving the grant before, because maybe some people may have gone and found employment since receiving the grant.
When the application has been approved, you will receive a message requesting your banking details. However, Zulu said it is important for applicants to note that the bank account or the cellphone number provided for payment must be registered in the name of the approved applicant for the grant to ensure that payment goes to the correct recipient.
She added that the department had observed that there were public servants and other people from well-off backgrounds who had previously abused this grant. Zulu also praised some young South Africans who viewed R350 as an amount they could start a business with and use to sustain themselves.
