Black Sash has called for the immediate reinstatement of the temporarily suspended Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, citing fears of the ravages of a possible third wave of the pandemic.

As part of government’s measures to prevent and combat the spread of Covid-19, Sassa was initially mandated to provide the grant from May 2020 to October 2020. This was further extended to January 2021 and April 2021 respectively.

Black Sash national director Lynette Maart said: “The government must reinstate the Covid-19 SRD grant. A third wave is becoming a reality since infections are increasing and mass vaccinations are yet to begin. Meanwhile, Sassa has confirmed that payment will be made for all approved grants as soon as confirmation of funding is finalised, and apologized to all unpaid clients of the special Covid-19 SRD grant for any inconvenience the suspension has caused.
