Get SASSA R350

SASSA R350 has been provided to unemployed people since May 2020 for up to six months. Previously, it was mostly paid through the South African Post Office, but now all beneficiaries can collect their grant from Pick and Pay and Boxer stores. These changes were made due to some challenges with the post office pay points.
