from next week. Acting Social Development, MEC Panyaza Lesufi, has announced a multi- million rand project to cushion about 160 000 children in the province.
The children will also access free education from all state schools and they will also be given bursaries to advance their studies at tertiary institutions.“There will be free transport to school, two hot meals daily. They will receive one month worth of groceries every month until they are 18 when we evaluate their status. We have something called the Food Bank.”Today, we started the process to make poverty history in Gauteng.
Welfare state. Soon we'll have food and water queues.
That is not going to work and you know it Lesufi. To many opportunistic people who will fake poverty to get free groceries. It’s happening now with SASSA grant fraud.
I hope MYANC comrades won't steal the groceries as they do in moretele local municipality
That's brilliant Papa action but I wonder what other provinces are doing while Gauteng is propelling like this. It seems as if don't get budget. Ey thanks a lot Papa action you are an example.
Nothing in life is for free. Someone has to pay for it.
Socialists like spending other people's money.
I'm not so sure how this is going to work.'Groceries' for the why? How is it going to work to sustain the children? We all know that some- where along the line where freebies are handed out even with Sassa grants, there are adults around waiting to start theft & selling scams🙄🤔
They are working on a strategy for 2021 elections
Free this, free that instead of creating jobs for their parents. You are not solving the problem for long time solution. Look like Gorvement doesn't know why those children are so called disadvantage. A simple answer _ Its because of their unemployed/ unemployable (Zuma) parents
I'm not sure that giving children groceries is a good idea. Providing them with food, yes. But not groceries. Who will ensure that the groceries serve the purpose it's meant to and not taken by relatives and neighbors?
ANC never does anything unless it sees an opportunity to get a tender & inflate prices..
Are they not getting paid every month
Oh, Elections are closer then I realized. Poverty will just disappear with free groceries? Are there really people who will believe this bull?
Good what caused them to become disadvantage how long would the groceries last anc said it will provide jobs health and education. Disadvantaged children are not only in jhb.
👏👏
I can't wait as a child
fimasa_SA Im very happy about thos decision.
Okusalayo I online application system ikuhlulile
Who is paying for those groceries? I smell a cover up of funds
Groceries for how long?
This is the ANC we live and die for. ALL POWER, TO THE PEOPLE. AMANDLA!!!
Only if their parents r ANC volunteers.
Local government elections or plan to address poverty and other social challenges ?
