Good News: Check SRD Status for August 2023 | R350 Status Check

Check SRD Status for August 2023: Sassa is administering the Social Relief of Distress Grant in South Africa as an agency of the Department of Social Development. It also administer all other grants offered by the Department of Social Development.

Millions of people are receiving the SRD Grant on a monthly basis. The grant comes in a form of monetary value of R350 per month for qualifying individuals. For people who are not receiving any other income monthly, R350 can go a long way. But is R350 per month enough to sustain someone per month? Well, that’s a question for another day.

There are some proposals by various civil society organisations to make SRD Grant a permanent grant in a form of Basic Income Grant. The Good Party has proposed that Government can afford to pay R999 per month to those who are not working as Basic Income Grant. Other organisations are pushing that the current amount of R350 be increased to or above R624 per month as R350 is way below the poverty level.

But the question is, will these proposals become a reality? Will the government listen to the people. Well, let’s just wait and see.
