This R350 Covid 19 relief fund should continue

It's a clear indication there's no plan to provide employment for the poor, just keep them pasified and voting...

And that is why we have to get World Bank loans? To fund an extended social grant initiative to boost the ANC's chance at the next general elections.

There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting about GregsonLillian has been a pleasure collaborating with you...there is no other way I can show my appreciation other than tweeting the good deed you have done.

Anc please please invest in us. R350 Is not enough. Please come with better plans.

Old people deserve the grant our youth!?yoòooh they want decent things,I think they need job creation to decrease unemployment rate

Jobs please 350 is not a long term solution not even enough to support some1 for a whole day let alone a month!

No shame this people have no shame!!!

Half the people applying don't get the grant so I am baffled

So the ANC considering having government extend lockdown so to use R350 as a bribe

Hope another Dirk won't take what was discussed in ANC to parliament

Jobs should be created.

So people must be permanently dependent on the corrupt state instead of creating jobs for them to take charge of their destiny and lives

We want decent jobs not 350 😥😰

So_mazotsho Right after that loan from the World Bank was approved!? Why nkare they use the grant to actually chow the moola🤔 But hey...🤷🏾‍♂️
