Radebe has three children to feed: “Two of my kids are over the age of 20 so, they are able to go out and find jobs. But the third one is only 10 and needs clothing and food. I get R450 from the grant. It doesn’t cover all the basics. Transport, food and everything else has gone up and it keeps going up. Inflation is a killer, sometimes I cannot afford to buy clothes for my kids let alone myself.”
When he is not on duty, Radebe makes extra money by selling things: “I sell cigarettes, flowers, cellphone chargers and even newspapers on the side of the road.”Minister of Finance, Enoch Godongwana’s Budget Speech on Wednesday will bring some good news, I am really hoping that the grant will go up by R700 or more … that would be better..”
Meanwhile, the Financial and Fiscal Commission has recommended that government re look the Child Support Grant to factor in the rising cost of living. The commission says the grant system in the country is considered on the grounds of poverty and inequality reduction but rarely on consumption.
Be grateful, here in Namibia we are receiving 250.00 namibian dollars only
Give me more.... Give me more.... The standard African cry.... 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Apartheid was better people used to work permanent jobs,There were no Learnerships or internships
The audacity
It will never be enough if you spend it on brand name clothing and iPhones …🥸🥸
When has money ever been enough?
The money should never had to be given out freely. People should have been working and earning a living and not beg and still have the guts to make demands when they had done nothing
Child grant = booze money and kids just suffer horribly. worst possible grant they possibly gove
They must stop having babies just to get the grant.
Learn to close your legs , I am tired seeing ppl beg with a baby on the back and a baby in the arm
How about they stop having kids they cannot afford. It's no one's responsibility to care for their kids, but theirs alone.
And where must this extra money come from? The answer is simple; stop giving birth to the rugrats if you can't raise them with your own money.
A condom would have been cheaper, if not free and we would not have had to make the tax base the father.
Hai suka
People must stop make babies at our expense taxes payers
Cost of living has increased drastically, we need help from the government to counter this hyper inflation
Shouldn't have kids then...where's the father's..the tax payers are not the father's of these kids...
Grants are never supposed to keep people in a good life, it is completely unsustainable....
Kanti sebezalela igrant bona?
Tell them not drink beer with grant
I know its controversial but anyone who has kids should be able to take care of them As for income, the government needs to something about the high food cost
