Sassa has only been known to support those who are in dire need of money if they have no other form of income. But, some South Africans have gotten pretty creative in their ways to survive.
Not only was Sassa able to support the life of a South African. But it also helped him create a consistent income for himself. Now, talk about the brains behind investing!
Sassa creates stability for some
While many opt to use the Sassa grant for other purposes, Tayini Maluleke has opted to invest this money. He now owns a food truck business. According to Briefly, he is continuing to make a name for himself in the food industry.
This isn’t all as another sought to start his very own vendor with just three hundred and fifty rands. To make ends meet, he did not just rely on the grant for an income on a month-to-month basis. But decided that he will start his own business in order to have a sustainable life.
Businesses thrive while others wait on payouts
To date, the business has proven to be successful and is a testament to what a little amount of money can do for one person.
More: State of disaster extended again
Just last month, one mother has reported that she was unable to receive the Sassa grant as it showed that she is registered to receive UIF.
While she has not received anything, she has only received the grant a few times and never again. The Sassa grant actually has some hiccups but is hopefully being recovered as many rely on something to get them going for the day or even the month.
Moreover, the Sassa grant has been extended till March 2023 February. So, that leaves plenty of room for improvement and time for others to get back onto their feet.
