Boxer Superstores has introduced a limited-period promotion that allows selected SASSA grant recipients to receive store eCoupons equal to the value of their monthly social grants. The campaign applies to beneficiaries who collect their grants at Boxer stores between 22 January and 8 February 2026 and coincides with the February SASSA payout cycle. This matters as Gauteng households enter a high-pressure spending period marked by rising food prices, transport costs, and constrained grant values.
According to Boxer, the promotion will run nationally across all Boxer Superstores and will produce a capped number of winners selected through a randomised draw.
The retailer said the initiative does not alter SASSA grant values or payment schedules but introduces a retail-linked incentive tied to in-store shopping during the payout window.

Campaign Timing Overlaps with SASSA Payment Dates
The promotion aligns directly with January and February SASSA disbursements, when grant recipients are most active in formal retail environments.
Grant payment dates that fall within the campaign period include:
- SRD grants on 23 January 2026
- Old Age grants on 3 February 2026
- Disability grants on 4 February 2026
- Child Support grants on 5 February 2026
This overlap places the campaign within the same period when grant income is typically used to cover food, household essentials, and transport costs.
Who Qualifies to Participate
The campaign is open to SASSA beneficiaries who collect their grants at Boxer stores and meet South African residency requirements.
According to the published terms, entrants must be South African citizens or permanent residents. Directors, employees, consultants, suppliers, promotional agents, and third parties involved in the execution of the campaign are excluded from participation.
Boxer said these exclusions apply whether involvement is direct or indirect.
Participation Requirements and Verification
Participation requires both an in-store purchase and a mobile-based confirmation.
According to Boxer, entries are captured electronically and verified before being included in the draw. Each entry is linked to the mobile number used during submission.
The retailer stated that only qualifying purchases made during the campaign period will be considered valid.
How Winners Are Selected
Winners will be selected using a random computer-generated process, according to Boxer. There will be a maximum of 164 winners nationally per month, and not every Boxer store will necessarily produce a winner.
Boxer said the draw process is automated and subject to internal verification controls.
What Winners Receive
Successful entrants will receive a Boxer eCoupon equal to the value of their January or February SASSA grant, capped as follows:
- Old Age and Pensioner grants up to R2 190
- Child Support grants up to R530
- SRD grants up to R370
The eCoupon will be issued via SMS to the mobile number used during entry.
Conditions Attached to The eCoupons
According to Boxer, eCoupons can only be redeemed at Boxer Superstores nationwide. They cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred to another person, or partially redeemed.
The full value must be redeemed in a single transaction. Any unused balance is forfeited.
These conditions apply across all grant categories.
What This Means for Gauteng Residents
Gauteng is home to a large share of South Africa’s SASSA beneficiaries, including pensioners, caregivers, and unemployed adults receiving SRD grants. With food inflation and transport costs continuing to place pressure on household budgets, grant values are increasingly stretched over shorter periods.
While the campaign does not increase grant income or provide direct cash relief, it introduces a chance-based retail incentive linked to essential grocery spending. For Gauteng residents already collecting grants or shopping at Boxer, the promotion may influence where monthly grant funds are spent during the February payout cycle.
The initiative operates independently of SASSA and does not change eligibility, payment dates, or grant amounts.
Public Disclosure and Consumer Safeguards
Boxer said winners’ names will be announced through selected channels, including community newspapers, the Boxer website, and official Boxer social media platforms.
By participating in the campaign or redeeming an eCoupon, customers indemnify Boxer and its partners against claims arising from lost or misused coupons. The retailer also reserves the right to amend or terminate the promotion in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
