Possible increase of the SRD Grant to R370
There is a proposal to increase the SRD grant from R350 to R370. This change is made to help people as a support or aid in rising living costs. Although the increase is small, it could make an impact by giving additional funds for necessities like food, healthcare, and transport.
The proposal is now under review. If it is approved, the new amount will take effect in the 2024 payment cycle. This adjustment is part of a larger effort by the South African government to improve the social support and living conditions.
