Social development minister Lindiwe Zulu says her department has put in a request to the National Treasury to get the R350 Covid-19 social relief grant extended.

She said some of those who received the grant had left the country. Her department stopped payments to those people, while investigating whether they were SA citizens.

“What we’ve done is, we’ve written to all DGs [to] find out if those people are still in the system so we can collect from those people who were paid.”

That's very thoughtful but would the money reach the intended recipients? What improvements have they put in place to stop theft or diversion of funds. Our struggles are real, R350 is just not reasonable. Conduct an assessment and adjust the grant accordingly 🤯

These criminals are not serious, how can someone survive on R350 a month? They should reconsider this decision of giving people this social relief grant. That's the problem of putting a businessman into power. Lesson learnt in a hard way.

Treasury must scrap the austerity measures and open up the economy. We can create jobs ourselves. Not these hand outs.

now she is talking let it be until next year july
