How long does it take to get approved for the Grant? Answer: Once you submit your application to Sassa, it undergoes several verification and validation processes before approval occurs. It takes approximately 3 weeks or 21 days to get approved for your Sassa R350 Grant application.

Imagine you have a big jar of candy. If you eat all the candy at once, you’ll enjoy it for a short time but then it will be all gone, and you won’t have any candy left for later. Saving is like eating just a little bit of candy each day so that you can enjoy it for a longer time.

Why You Need to Save

By saving some candy, you make sure that you will have candy tomorrow, the next day, and even next week. Money works the same way. If you spend all your money at once, you won’t have any left for when you really need it, like buying something special or saving for a toy you really want. But if you save some of your money now, you’ll have it later for important things or emergencies. Saving helps make sure we can take care of ourselves and have fun in the future, just like how saving some candy means you can enjoy it longer
