Starting in November 2025 South Africa will offer monthly payments of R1,800 to help homeowners who struggle with their mortgage payments. The program targets people who can’t keep up with their home loans due to rising interest rates and higher living costs. This financial support will focus on active mortgage holders from low and middle income families. The government created this plan to make sure people can stay in their homes during tough economic times.
