Sassa said that its application system was now processing millions of applications at once and that applicants for the R350 grant would soon be able to view their current status.
The the highest number of applicants for the grant were in the 20 to 24 and 25 to 29 age groups, respectively.
When moving the country to adjusted level 3 of the lockdown, President Cyril Ramaphosa also reinstated the SRD grant, adding that caregivers who were receiving the child support grant were also eligible for the SRD grant. When opening applications on August 6, the agency said that it had gotten off to a slow start due to excessive traffic on its website.
At the time, Sassa CEO Boitumelo Memela-Khambula said that this was a clear indication of the huge need for food aid, among other things, from distressed inhabitants of the country, and that Ramaphosa could not have reinstated this grant at a better time.
