South Africa provides money to help its citizens through social grants. The government gives support to old people, kids, grown-ups and people with disabilities who don’t make much money. Sometimes people need more help than the basic grants offer. This is why SASSA made the Grant in Aid program. This extra payment helps people who already get social grants but need someone to look after them. It’s meant for old or disabled people who can’t take care of themselves. The caregiver gets the money directly. Right now SASSA pays 560 rand each month and the next payment update will happen in October 2025.
