These monthly endowments to the neediest citizens in South Africa cover 60% of the expenses of nearly one quarter of the population. According to Statista, roughly 18-million South Africans live in extreme poverty, which equates to less than R35 per day. As a result, every Rand received through grants does help in the fight against poverty.
