About KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal has South Africa's largest social grant beneficiary population at over 3.8 million recipients. The province spans urban centres (Durban, Pietermaritzburg), extensive rural areas, and the Zululand region.

Unique SRD Challenges in KwaZulu-Natal

Flooding in coastal areas can disrupt SASSA office operations during summer months. Rural beneficiaries in uMkhanyakude and Zululand districts often rely on mobile SASSA units.
