A 'hawk's eye' will be kept on relief funds to prevent corruption, says Ramaphosa | Day29ofLockdown CyrilFridays Covid19SA

Johannesburg - President Cyril Ramaphosa says a hawk's eye will be kept on the billions allocated towards relief funds as the country deals with containing the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus.

The economic and social package will see around R50 billion allocated to municipalities in need of funds, R20bn will go towards health care and procuring essential equipment and some of the funds will go into expanding the social grant system. "We are going to keep a hawk's eye on how the money will be spent. I spoke to the Auditor-General and said we need to put in place systems on a proactive basis to prevent the abuse of resources that we are putting in place. So that money does not end up in people's pockets," he said on Friday at the Nasrec Expo Centre where he viewed a quarantined facility.

Twitter reacts to Ramaphosa’s 6-month R350 relief grant for the unemployedTwitter reacts to Ramaphosa's 6month R350 relief grant for the unemployed with some appreciation, while others believe those unemployed with degrees deserve a bigger share of the grant. We all know that all those monies will go to the Hungry corrupt ANC members with their big belly's I really hope that Dept of Social Development makes these payments in a staggered approach. ☑️15th of the month: Unemployment Grant ☑️1st of the month; Pensioners ☑️5th of the month; Child Grant Otherwise it's going to be disastrous if they are all paid on same day.
