Beneficiaries concerned over new R350 SRD grant criteria
The National State of Disaster, which facilitated the SRD grant, came to an end in April 2022. However, the Department of Social Development has been working on a regulatory framework for the payment of the grant since Ramaphosa announced the extension.
Social Development Minister, Lindiwe Zulu gazetted the new regulations on 22 April, a day before the application process reopened.
All beneficiaries of the R350 SRD rant are required to re-apply and the criteria is tighter than before. Many social justice groups and unions feel that the new regulations will leave the poor poorer. Read the full story here.
