Kubantu baseNingizimu Afrika abayizigidi eziyi-18 abathembele kule mali, lokhu akukhona nje ‘ushintsho lohlelo’—kodwa kungumehluko phakathi kokuba nokudla etafuleni noma ukulala nendlala ngenkathi izitolo zivaliwe. Kuyaduduza ukubona i-ejensi ivuma ukuthi abantu badinga ukuthenga ukudla nokuhlela uhambo ngaphambi kokuba iholide limise izinto. Uma ufuna ukubheka ikhalenda elisemthethweni lonyaka wonke, ngincoma ukuhlola ikhasi elithi SASSA Payment Dates, njengoba belivuselela ngokushesha uma kukhona ushintsho. Nakuba ukukhokhwa kusasele isikhathi kuyizindaba ezinhle, ngiyabazwela labo abazama ukwenza isibonelelo se-SRD sika-R390 sanelise izidingo zomndeni ezihlale zikhula ngezikhathi zamaholide.

Uhlelo Lwakho Olunqunyiwe Lokukhokha lwePhasika lika-Ephreli 2026: Ungabanjwa Off-Side

Izinsuku eziqinisekisiwe yilezi:

• Isibonelelo Sabadala (Older Person’s Grant): NgoLwesibili, 31 Mashi 2026. Abahola impesheni bathola kuqala, okufanele kubasize bagweme ukuminyana kwabantu abasuke bethenga ngezinsuku zamaholide.

Uma bengizama ukwenza lokhu kusebenze, nansi indlela engingakuhlukanisa ngayo:

1. Izinto ezibalulekile (R200): Gxila ezintweni ezinzima kuqala. Impuphu, ilayisi, amafutha, mhlawumbe nenhlanzi yasethini noma obhontshisi. Ngingaqhela kakhulu kulezo ‘zinto ezikhethekile zePhasika’ namaqanda kashokholethi. Ayabiza kakhulu uma usebenzisa ibhajethi eqinile. Hlola izintengo kwa-Boxer noma kwa-Shoprite ngaphambi kokuba uthenge.
2. Ezokuthutha (R80): Izimali zamatekisi ziyinkinga kulezi zinsuku. Ngokwenyuka kwentengo yakamuva, uhambo olulodwa lokuyobona umndeni lungadla ingxenye yesine yesibonelelo sakho. Zama ukuhamba kuphela uma kudingeka ngempela.
3. Ugesi ne-Airtime (R50): Phakathi kwezinsongo ze-Stage 8 load shedding nokudinga ukuxhumana nomndeni, kufanele ube nogesi ne-airtime efonini.

Kubuhlungu ukubhala lokhu ngoba kukhombisa ukuthi lesi sibonelelo singaphansi kakhulu komugqa wobumpofu wokudla (R760). Kuwumzabalazo onzima.
