The call came during an alliance secretariat press briefing attended by alliance partners the ANC, SACP and Cosatu on Zoom on Thursday, said SACP national spokesperson Alex Mashilo. The six-month special grant was announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa in April and is administered by the SA Social Security Agency .
After the agency was criticised last month for only managing to pay 10 people during a trial run, this week it announced the payment of R350 to more than 100,000 people.To date, more than 3.5 million people have been checked to confirm if they are active Sassa grant recipients, are on UIF database or receive a Nsfas stipend.
Memela said about 1,236,492 clients were being finalised through verification by SARS to confirm if they have an income; 666,381 clients have been approved and Sassa was awaiting banking details; and more than 1,597,127 have been rejected since the applicants have some or other means of income.
Our applications from the 11th May 2020 have not even been looked at yet. So how can the SACP expect the SRD Grant of R350 been made permanent?
These copy cats want to be relevant. Was this not suggested by EFF first or am I mistaken 🤔
My friend NkariKomanese 'Communists' have spoken!
To pacify the masses with this pittance
What exactly is SACP role in the country
That will only promote laziness. SACP has no ideas, they are just clueless.
🙃 Dear Communists SACP1921 I hear you, but it should come with a compulsory vasectomy and sterilization. Can't have people living on a permanent R350 grant procreate.🙃 Rather focus on rooting out corruption, graft, theft of public resources & teaching communal responsibility
Why not ... much easier to be a parasite than productive.
How about some compulsory skills program for unemployed youth using that R350 as stipend for the duration of it? Do we have enough artisans, bricklayers and toolmakers in the country?
SASSA has only payed about 10 percent of R350 grants.
Well to do that you need more tax players. Unfortunately before the virus hit unempl was 29 afterwards 45-50 percent. That will be carnage, government doesn't have any more space to borrow and printing money leads to hyperinflation like zim or venu, prices double, every day
SACP is drinking with corruption
Who will be taxed for this to continue?
Now this was to be expected! Nothing new here! Wonder with money that is going to come from where?
Yeah right. Who is hoing to pay? The SACP? STOP ANC corruption first.
How many of this money is going to reach us the unemployed the poor someone must investigate you applied but no word or verification what happens after you applied
I thought these were loans...nje. Does this mean we must learn money every month to give citizens R350...?
They shout socialist/communist slogans as if communism is the most wonderful thing..look at their solution on unemployment ppl must permanently be govt grant recepients..nothing about job creation..nothing on improving education standards or skills development..stupid reasoning
Before there can talk about me making them permanent, kumele baba holele abantu
SACP1921 SACP must stop this paradisical relationship and start campaign for elections
Is this an admission that your alliance has failed to create decent employment for the people you claim to represent🤔🤔
It was only a matter of time before they take advantage of govt programs to remain relevant with ideologues. Why not advocate for the use of money to support artisan and small business development programs? Slave mentality will never build a nation, it only leads to pettiness!
Slave mentality- they think they r worth nothing.... only capable to earn nothing from government for doing nothing. They're not worh a dream of being independent & care for their own family. Mentality of SA society r in a extremely bad place - 25yrs of indoctrination by ANC.
It's highly unreasonable and impossible. Inherent I that demand is the view that says, Covid-19 shouldn't be defeated.
Of course they'll say that. Who's gonna fund it brain surgeons
How much has the Sacp contributed to the solidarity fund account? Nywenywe the vanguard of the workers but they can't help the workers with just food parcel
😂 😂 😂 😂 In other words People of employment age is worth R350 p.m. Living in squalor and stay dependant on grants hoping to reach old age soon for the pension money😂😂😂 WhatKindOfPeopleAreU? Definately don't sound human
Now why don't they implement it as they are in alliance with the ruling party, if there is indeed that alliance.
With which permanent budget?
Yes! Time for the Basic Income Grant
Who is gonna foot the bill? The workers?
who is SACP?!!!
They must use that money to create jobs...
Offcourse
Ndabezi33230134 Lol where is mapaila
How will they afford to pay it?
We don't want bribes for votes we want Jobs.
South Africa can afford R1000 job's guarantee scheme for the unemployed.
The start of a BIGNOW....basic income grant now! VishwasSatgar COPAC_SA DomBro90 ?
Please show me where the money trees are planted..
