In South Africa, social grants are a vital lifeline for over 18 million people, offering hope and stability in tough times. The government’s review process checks that only those who truly qualify keep receiving help, protecting the system from misuse. Though the paperwork and waiting can be stressful, this careful check helps keep the grants fair and reliable. Amid worries and rumors, Sassa works hard to clear up confusion and support people like Thandiwe and Sipho, whose lives depend on this crucial assistance. These grants are more than money—they are a promise of dignity and survival for many families.
