That indicates failure not achievement honorable minister. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves

Hay kodwa le yotyiwa hweR350 ngabantu abangekho lungelweni ze abaselungelweni kuthwe decline source of income ikhona abe umntu akanayo nento ayifumana ndawo iyayenza Wes corruption

Anc failure

N how many not approved...for false reasons too.

I heard the grant has been increased to R650. How did we get here at the 1st place? Yes covid happened but is it really covid19? NO! Tenders killed better jobs with benefits as for corruption in government post and failure of government making SOE's functional. Now all depends on

And more than R7m was declined

This guys are the biggest lies ,who is getting payed of srd grand because all of us heve been declined since look last year,do your research sabc people are not getting this money anymore

Lies, deserving people don't even get a cent

So every month South Africa produced 8 millions children? Waaaooo

But mine was declined since December 2022 even though I have no alternative source of income‼️‼️bloody corrupt, incompetent and compromised ANC government.... we are truly not led by these criminals‼️‼️bloody agents of darkness‼️‼️😡😡😡😡😡

Can somebody please balance me; why why is tha government still giving out R350? Why? I never understood this even during tha time covid was rife. This money should have been given to people who lost their jobs because of covid, not people where not working. Just dont make sense

8 million and the corrupt MYANC wear this as a badge of honour - disgusting

This isn't something to brag about. That's 8 mill people who reached rock bottom.

Anc loves it when South Africans are dependent on them , this R350 is really a joke.

My cousin last received his in October 2022. They always say it was declined due to other sources of income lapho he doesnt work, no investments, nothing at all. Card is overdrawn due to bank charges 🤣🤣🤣.

We'll never know howmany of the 8 million grants were paid to employed ANC family and friends while those who really need it go to bed hungry! 2024Election VoteDA

yes and no white is aproeve

I guess she's ecstatic but it means 8 million more people are in distress probably because they can't make ends meet HighUnemployment.
