R370 Payment Live – As the month of July draws to a close, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has initiated the final wave of SRD R370 grant payments starting July 28, 2025. This payment cycle is especially critical for thousands of beneficiaries who had pending applications, verifications, or delays in earlier July batches. If you’re waiting for your R370 SRD grant, this is your final chance to receive the payment before the August cycle begins.

With fraud cases increasing and server glitches affecting payment visibility, the agency has also provided a live tracking method that allows you to see the exact status of your R370 payment in real-time. In this article, we explain everything you need to know about the final July SRD payout wave, how to use the live tracking tool, updated payment schedules, banking timelines, and who may still be at risk of not receiving their grant. Read carefully and follow the steps provided to ensure your payment is not missed.
