Social Grants for 15 Year Olds in Mpumalanga

The Mpumalanga Province has already introduced the long-awaited ‘year extension’ for child support grants.

Authorities says that since last month they have increased the maximum period in which a child would get a grant from the previous ‘ceiling’ age of 14 to at least 15 years this year.

The South African Social Security Agency spokesperson, Senzeni Ngubeni, says that, “The year extension is an ongoing process in which by January 1 2011 and 2012 the maximum year will increase to ages 16 and 17.”
