This is what makes citizens lazy and unwilling to work. Cut these grants. Get people to work for the money you’re giving them for free, and if someone comes from a family where no one has ever paid tax, then they don’t deserve it.
They don’t have money when it comes to public but for looting the is
That money is little money Kat Matlala got 800 millions we are not 90 millions in SA so they can give south Africans a million each together with our grandchildrens .some millions will also remain stop corruption pls and work for peoples
We don’t really need the R370 grant, we need jobs. We were advised to go to school, graduate and get a better job which we being failed with it. We wanna woke up knowing that we living for something , we going to use our energy on something which will give us a salary to support our loved ones month end. Not R370…we need jobs, we wanna work
How much is the government stealing from citizens
So they think 370 a month can make a difference?
SRD is going straight to the Somalians and Pakistanis shops then out of the country it’s doesn’t circulate even once in townships straight to Al Shabab and ISIS
the money is there government must stop this tenders…and hire commuity with different skills pay them better than R370 those who dont want to work they get nothing
