Twitter reacts to Ramaphosa’s 6-month R350 relief grant for the unemployed

Johannesburg - President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday night announced that the government would be making a special six-month relief grant of R350 to unemployed South Africans.

“A special Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress grant of R350 a month for the next 6 months will be paid to individuals who are currently unemployed and do not receive any other form of social grant or UIF payment,” he announced. But on Wednesday, social media went on overdrive with the “#R350” trend, as some applauded the government, while others decried the need for the assistance and while others who were armed with certificates, believed they deserved to get a bigger social grant than those with only matric.

I can live on R10 a day

If you are surprised with this, am absolutely certain you drink something out of the ordinary. This is Marikana murderer, he is a brutal and highly ruthless man, mr. concomitant action himself, he's very sweet looking outside, but very horrible inside☹

I really hope that Dept of Social Development makes these payments in a staggered approach. ☑️15th of the month: Unemployment Grant ☑️1st of the month; Pensioners ☑️5th of the month; Child Grant Otherwise it's going to be disastrous if they are all paid on same day.

We all know that all those monies will go to the Hungry corrupt ANC members with their big belly's
