DA federal council chair Helen Zille has lashed out at the ANC, saying it's time the party stopped using social grants to 'blackmail poor people' to get votes.

DA federal council chair Helen Zille has lambasted the ANC, saying it's time the party stopped using social grants to “blackmail poor people” to get votes. , Zille alleged ANC leaders have been misleading the public by claiming social grants are delivered by the ruling party.

“One of the most outrageous features of the election is to see ANC ministers going around telling poor people their grants come from the ANC. They do not. They come primarily from the 7-million registered personal taxpayers in SA, most of whom do not vote ANC,” said Zille. “It is time the ANC stopped using grants to blackmail poor people. No person has lost a grant because they voted DA. Indeed, quite the opposite.”"The more people vote ANC, the poorer they will get. Soon tax money for grants will also run out, when the ANC has finished looting,” she claimed.

Here shes right👍🚶‍♂️

Teach poor people that the social grants is not from any party but from taxpayers

Its no bribe but a necessary social intervention

I blame black monopoly capital

True mad

True.They loot, not create jobs or empower small businesses then give them R350. This government wants people to be completely dependent on them. It's easier to control them.I would also vote for them if I had no job&R350 was my source of income. Disempowerment at its best! Sies!
