SASSA provides foods vouchers worth R1200 to each affected family during a crisis or disaster.
The value of the relief grant increases to R3960 (R1980 x 2), which is available in food vouchers or cash to a family whose members died because of the disaster.
School uniform is provided to learners who lost [a] uniform during a disaster:
- Girls are eligible for assistance worth R2700
- Boys are eligible for assistance worth R2500
HOW TO APPLY FOR THE FOOD VOUCHER:
To apply for the food voucher, affected families are requested to get in touch with their ward councillor or a social worker.
HOW LONG WILL YOU RECEIVE THE GRANT?
The grants are valid for one month, according to SASSA, “because it is expected that people’s lives will normalise and the other form of SRD, including R350, will still be available for people who are experiencing hardship.”
An assessment is done, and then an application will be processed immediately. The grant is then issued to the approved beneficiaries.
