June 2026 Public Holidays — Impact on Payments

South Africa observes Youth Day on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. SASSA plans the monthly payment schedule to avoid public holidays — the June payment dates at the start of the month are unaffected by Youth Day.

If any payment date falls on a public holiday, SASSA pays on the last working day before the holiday. The June 2026 early-grant payment dates (1–3 June) are not affected.
