South Africa’s 2025 budget lifts key social grants, giving more money to the elderly, disabled, war veterans, foster carers, and children. These grants help millions afford basics like food, school, and shelter, acting as a lifeline in tough times. The government also keeps the COVIDera relief grant going, showing it cares about longterm support. Beyond cash, plans are underway to link grants with job training and work chances, aiming to help people build better futures. This mix of care and opportunity reflects South Africa’s hope for a fairer, kinder society.
