R350 COVID-19 Special Relief Grant Reinstated Until March 2022 – Ramaphosa

PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa said on Sunday that the Social Relief of Distress Grant of R350 will be reinstated until March 2022.

In a live address to the nation on Sunday, Ramaphosa also announced a range of measures to support the recovery of the economy, and provide relief to the poor, and those who are vulnerable as a result of the measures government had to impose to deal with COVID-19 crisis.

“To support those who have no means of supporting themselves, we are reinstating the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant to provide a monthly payment of R350 until the end of March 2022,” he said.

“This has been made possible by the slight improvement we have seen in our revenue collection.”
