Hey Mirinda, It sadly does not seem so from the following line by the Minister of Social Development “We have decided to pay the December social grants earlier than usual for the sole purpose of allowing elderly people to do their Christmas shopping ahead of the usual rush normally experienced over the festive season"
The above suggest that the payments made from as early as Nov 26 ware to made room for Christmas shopping - which means that there will not be another payment until after Christmas for the month of January (which will most likely be between the 27th and the 31st of December). This means that SASSA beneficiaries are expected to make Christmas shopping with the sums received from the 26th November until now
