Journal Article
The perceived Impact of Social Grants on Livelihood Strategies and Household Food Security among Women in Benfarm Village, Limpopo, South Africa
2024
Overview
Loss of livelihoods during COVID-19 propelled the South African Government to introduce the temporary Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant. The study compared views on the impact of social grants on livelihood strategies and household food security of 10 rural women in Benfarm Village, Limpopo that had received social grants and 10 that had received the additional SRD grant. Guided by the Sustainable Livelihoods approach, the study employed a qualitative, comparative case study design and data were collected via interviews. Participants in the group that had not received the SRD grant had mixed views on whether grants enabled the creation of livelihoods. The group that had received the SRD grant felt that this additional grant empowered households that are not receiving social grants; however, it had limited impact on livelihood strategies. Both groups felt that social grants do make a difference in low-income households. It is recommended that the SRD grant be made permanent.
