The R350 relief grant is part of government’s efforts to cushion the poor against the Covid-19 pandemic.
The amount will be paid to qualifying applications from May until October 2020.
The grant forms part of the R500 billion economic and social relief measures announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa in April.
