EFF wants Covid-19 unemployment income grant to stay | Day33ofLockdown Covid19inSA

Johannesburg - The EFF has warned the government not to stop the 6-month unemployment income grant for the jobless if it wants peace in South Africa.

Malema said the EFF welcomed the increase as the party had been calling for grants to be doubled, as well as calling for government to introduce basic income grants for the unemployed. On Friday, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni, who also accused the media of unsettling people, stressed that the grants would be stopped after six months. “We explained that this is a temporary measure to support people. In October that will be lifted. Let us not agitate our people to do the wrong thing.”

“The homeless people currently housed by the government should be rehabilitated and integrated back into normal society.”

Grant for us lazy SAns and jobs for African brotherhood

Last time I check EFF is just opposition party they don't make rules

Azania: implement the universal lncome Grant for the poor and unemployed citizens, including all Social Security Grant categories to a MERE R5000.00 only.

Let the EFF pay for it then. I understand that their private bank VBS is out of funds so maybe Mazzini is prepared to fund this stupidity

WA bona this guy, he know the struggle of a black person, keep on fighting for us we won't forget u

FIRSTLY YOUR CORRUPTION MUST BE CURBED YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ZIMBABWEAN GOVERNMENT IS DISTURBING? YOU USE OUR COUNTRY AS A COLLATERAL OF YOUR BUSINESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR YOUR HIGH VOLUME VOTES SO THAT THEY CAN OVERTAKE OUR COUNTRY? LOOK MALEMA WE KNOW A LOT ABOUT SYNDICATES

Our intelligent parliamentary clowns ..have alot of what must be done ..some lot ..that going to be dancing in the street ..and doing nothing

Think socialist ideologies...... always think socialist ideologies..

Why the hell not. Lets just roll out that printer and let the money roll out. This will take poverty to another level in SA.

That is good,they should also demand we get free fuel...

The EFF are irrelevant

Sickening socialism at its finest!

We want Jobs not grants.

While you support the decrease of public service wage bill, is this not increasing it?

Sounds great but will the government afford it?

I am eff member but this is a political score. This should be discussed after this disaster not now...

People want jobs.

Can the country afford that for longer period?

Hypocrites will always be. Although Covid-19 Covid-19 pandemic is cruel, we are still at peace with the noise from EFF

Also they probably want the money for it to grow on trees that are on the land they will get for free 😜

With loan from the IMF money they dnt want?

Of course EFFSouthAfrica does. They don’t have to pay for it

Sure as long as you EFF members fund it.

How are they going to finance it?

Funded by whom? Oh wait, the taxpayers he's trying to chase out of the country. SMH.

CIC’s ramblings mostly sounds like a lot of FefSeph-Sephysephsephahyde or Covefefe to me🤷‍♂️

Their leader has never worked, he is getting everything free, he is obssessed with free things.

FREE LOADERS IN ACTION !!! = UBUNTHU

Here we go..

Does EFF thing we are a wellfare State

They can use VBS money

Selfish! Opportunist! Coward!

I

We heard that must be cautious of IMF and world bank .Where will these funds come to be continuous?

Eff is delusional. They believe their dictator has a secret compost whites can grow money trees.

Hell who wants to pay more Tax, coz of their Laziness.. sometimes EFF Off-ramps serious

The EFF has no place to hide. We know what they are and what they want ultimately.

But at cost to the economy?

What if the virus can decide to stay with it 🙆🏽‍♂️

Next he will want all Africans to receive it🚮

This is exactly what will happen. Once grants are given or increased, it becomes politically impossible to take them away.

This doesn't seem right.. 😩 Will people even go look for jobs? The CIC even wants the unemployment grant to increase to R1000. All for the unemployed? Idk man..

And I and many others want Malema and the EFF to GO...
