SASSA extends temporary disability grant
Updated | By Nothando Mkhize
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has assured recipients of the temporary disability grant they will continue to be paid until the end of the year.
Disability grants were supposed to lapse earlier this year but were extended.
This was done to cushion against the pressures brought on by the COVID-19 lockdown.
