SASSA has announced that senior citizens will receive an increased old age pension of R2,315 in September 2025. Payments start on September 2, with disability grants following on the 3rd and all other grants on the 4th. The rise follows an April adjustment and reflects a R284.7 billion budget allocation for social grants. Officials urge beneficiaries not to crowd collection points. The grant rollout aims to support an ageing population nearing 19 million recipients.
