South Africa · Government Benefits · About
A vehicle for useful information — helping people access the grants and benefits they’re entitled to.
The word coches means vehicles — and that’s exactly what we are: a vehicle for useful information, helping people discover grants, benefits, and government support they may not know they’re entitled to.
Our focus is South Africa. Millions of South Africans qualify for government grants and social relief programmes every year — and many never access them, simply because the information isn’t easy to find.
What you’ll find on this blog
Government grants and social relief
Clear, up-to-date guides on programmes like the SRD Grant, SASSA benefits, and other government support available to South African citizens and residents.
Step-by-step application guides
We explain, in plain language, how to apply, what documents you need, and what to do if your application was declined.
Eligibility and criteria
We break down who qualifies, what the income thresholds mean, and how SASSA’s verification process works — so you can apply with confidence.
Reliable and free information
Our goal is to make government benefit information accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or experience with online systems.
Our mission
At Coches, we believe the right information is a vehicle for change. We work to simplify everything you need to know about social grants and government support in South Africa — so more people can access what they’re entitled to and improve their quality of life.
