In social development, the number of grant beneficiaries is forecast to increase from 16.2 million in 2012/13 to 17.3 million in 2015/16. The budget provides for the recruitment of graduates from the social worker scholarship programme. The sector is to realise savings of about R450 million per year as a result of the new grants administration contract. Savings realised will be allocated to improvements in the South African Social Security Agency's (SASSA) infrastructure system.
