Here are the Sassa grant payment dates for August

With social grants expected to be paid out from tomorrow (Monday), the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) says all hands are on deck to ensure there are no delays to the August payment cycle.

This as the agency continues to conduct reviews of some grant beneficiaries.

“We are intent in drive to assist all our clients to have their grants reviewed as seamlessly as possible so that no one leave our offices without being assisted and being burdened with back and forth.

“It is for this reason that we want everyone, especially at the senior level to get their hands dirty as well and be on the ground to assist our important clients,” said Sassa CEO Themba Matlou.

He said the reviews are to safeguard government funds, and ensure social grants are paid to the eligible beneficiaries, eliminating fraud internally and externally
