The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) is a pivotal institution in South Africa’s social welfare framework, established to be the sole agent responsible for the efficient management and disbursement of all social assistance grants. For millions of eligible citizens, Sassa represents the essential government mechanism providing a crucial safety net. The agency administers a broad portfolio of grants, including the popular child support grant (CSG), the Older Person's Grant, and the disability grant. The processes managed by Sassa involve rigorous means testing and identity verification to ensure that the public funds allocated for social protection reach the most vulnerable, thereby significantly mitigating poverty and promoting social security across the nation.
