💨 Abstract

In October 2025, SASSA Child Support Grants will not increase, unlike other grants like Older Persons and Disability grants, which receive a second hike. The R560 monthly grant, the most expensive, supports over 13 million children under 18. The National Treasury’s initial plan to boost grants above inflation was derailed by the GNU’s rejection of a VAT increase, leading to budget cuts.
