Old or False Headlines Can Rank for Years
Search results can surface outdated predictions and false reports. Check the date and whether the claim is supported by an official budget or social-development announcement.

No legitimate process asks a beneficiary to pay a fee to move from R370 to a higher amount.
Future Changes Need Fresh Verification
If government later changes the amount, update the site only after a formal announcement is available.
