JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced that the social relief of distress grant will be expanded.
During his State of the Nation Address, the president said the grant will create a more sustainable source of income.
The 370 rand grant was introduced at the height of Covid-19 pandemic and over 8-million unemployed South Africans receive the payout.
The Afrika Tikkun organisation says the grant should be linked with skills development programmes.
Andrew Levy, economist and head of human capital at Afrika Tikkun discuss this further with eNCA.
