💨 Abstract

In a landmark ruling, the Gauteng High Court deemed it 'unlawful' for the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) to have excluded millions of residents from SRD grants since 2023. The court found the agency's regulations limiting access to the R370 Social Relief of Distress grant to be 'unconstitutional and invalid'. SASSA was criticized for being 'oblivious to human suffering and indignation'.
