Closure of post offices to affect distribution of social grants – DA warns

The warning came after the party welcomed President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement on Sunday that the special Covid-19 social relief of distress grant of R350 had been reinstated until March 2022, and extended to include unemployed caregivers already receiving child support grants.

DA spokesperson on social development Bridget Masango said the closure of 130 post offices across South Africa will have an immense impact on the distribution of these grants. “We once again call on the South African Social Security Agency to provide plans on how it will ensure the uninterrupted payment of grants due to possible adverse effects of the closure of post offices as well as the damage to infrastructure during the riots.

“While the timing of the extension of the R350 grant has raised eyebrows – just before an election while the DA and civil society have been calling in vain for such action – we are pleased that there will be relief for the poor and vulnerable,” Masango said.

Nobody cares, DA, nobody cares, not even the virtue signallers. In fact, they care even less than the anc.
