How to apply for the food voucher?
The affected families can apply for the food voucher by submitting their contact details to their nearest municipality or social worker.
After you have submitted your details to the ward councillor or social worker, an assessment will be done, and your application will be processed. Once approved, the grant will be issued immediately.
The municipal assessment is necessary to ensure the SRD food voucher is allocated to the correct beneficiary in need, in KZN.
People without financial support can still apply for the normal SRD grants, designed to help them for three months.
How long will the affected receive the grant?
The grants will only run for a month as it is believed that things will normalise soon and for people that are still struggling to make ends meet, there is the SRD R350 that is still in progress.
