In his closing remarks after the weekend lekgotla of the ANC national executive committee, the party's highest decision making structure between national conferences, Ramaphosa said they had resolved that government should extend the R350 grant as the pandemic persists.
“The lekgotla has agreed that, in the context of the continuing Covid pandemic, we need to consider the extension of basic income relief to unemployed people who do not receive any other form of state assistance,” Ramaphosa said. Ramaphosa did not explain by how many months would the grant be extended nor how it would be financed given the dire state of the public purse, only saying the extension of the income grant “would depend on the state of public finances and that there should be a clear exit strategy”.must be fundamentally restructured to improve its accessibility and it should enable the participation of non-bank SMME funders.
Economic and financial experts have suggested that the basic income grant should in the region of R1,000 to R1,500.
Useless Just create jobs,do you think people will live with that little R350

Whether they extend their disgusting R350 nonsense or not we will vote them out. ANC is the cancer of South African citizens VoetsekANC ANCMustFall VoetsekCyril
But R350 is not enough mos
How do you expect your voters to survive on R11 something a day?
Give them tasks such as cleaning the filthy streets and campaigning against littering. .earn the money to prevent culture of entitlement
The carrot and donkey strategy, fast becoming obsolete!!!
Good luck with that.....
Make it R750 you bastards
They must first tell us where they going to get the money?

Ah, we not idiot's
But they said there's no money
R350 is Covid 19 super spreader maybe it can be deposited in a bank
With what money? Are some cabinet ministers and deputies taking a pay cut?
Another long lines of poverty.
Thinking like small kids of yester year. Without us businesses retaining our employees and sustaining our businesses, you in for a rude ride
MYANC sees its going to be difficult to give food parcels for Local gv elections so resorting to this
Of cos they do! There's many more of their ancestors who will continue to collect the r350 in their graves... African National Corruption comrats continue to laugh at their mindless supporters drinking river water with their donkeys while their kids die in pit toilets lol

So Ramaphosa he ask himself to extend R350...
Ain't no other way.
Tito must crunch some numbers and do some modelling and decide to extend further debt for government or raise taxis to fund grants and vaccines
Hurry up with the vaccines so things can get back to normal
