SASSA’s Message on Misinformation

SASSA has warned the public about fake job advertisements targeting social media platforms. One such post claimed there was a vacant grant administrator role with a salary of R21,234. This is false. All genuine vacancies are posted only on SASSA’s official site.

Budget Constraints and Pension Grant Debates

There’s been public pressure to increase the pension amount to R5,000. However, the Department of Social Development has explained that the state’s budget allocation cannot support this. In the 2025/2026 financial year:

Over 19 million people receive grants
R284.7 billion has been allocated for the year
Old Age Pensioners alone account for 4.1 million recipients

If the monthly grant were raised to R5,000, it would require over R246 billion annually just for pensioners—excluding other beneficiaries.

SASSA’s 2025/2026 Grant Allocation Table

Here’s a simplified breakdown of how the grant funds are structured:

Grant Type	Number of Beneficiaries	Monthly Amount	Total Annual Allocation
Old Age (60–74)	3.1 million	R2,315	± R86 billion
Old Age (75+)	1 million	R2,330	± R28 billion

Confirm if your details are updated
