Discuss the financing of social security schemes and social insurance in
South Africa. In your discussion, highlight the differences between social
assistance and social insurance, explain how each is funded, and describe
the practical implications of this knowledge for professionals, such as legal
officers, who assist clients in accessing these benefits.
In South Africa, the social security system is designed to protect individuals and households
against poverty and social risks such as unemployment, disability, old age, and loss of income. It
consists primarily of social assistance and social insurance, which differ in purpose, funding
mechanisms, eligibility criteria, and administration.
1. Social Assistance
Social assistance refers to non-contributory, means-tested benefits provided by the state to
individuals who are unable to support themselves financially. It is regulated mainly by the Social
Assistance Act 13 of 2004 and administered by the South African Social Security Agency
(SASSA).
Funding
Social assistance is funded from general tax revenue collected by the state. This means
beneficiaries are not required to have made prior contributions to qualify. The funds come from
national government allocations in the annual budget.
Examples
Common grants include:
Old Age Grant
Disability Grant
Child Support Grant
Foster Child Grant
Care Dependency Grant
