Sassa reported as at 11 August 2021 the R350 COVID-19 SRD grant applications had reached an astonishing number of applications of over 5 million.

Collectively the age groups of between under 20 – 35 years account for 65% of all total application with more than 2 million applications being ages 20 – 29 years.
