The South African Constitution’s Bill of Rights (Section 24-29) recognizes citizens’ socioeconomic rights. As a result, the government takes reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to ensure that this individual right is gradually realized. It’s also worth noting that the SASSA Act of 2004 governs SASSA.
