Hall and Proudlock argue: “Below-inflation increases will mean that the real value of grants is eroded: poor people will be poorer and there will be less food on the table. This is a disaster for the 13 million children and the seven million caregivers who depend on grants to provide for them. It is an unthinkable trade-off: the budget literally takes food from the mouths of children.”
“given the cost of extending [the SRD], increases to other social grants in 2023/24 will be slightly below inflation and other social welfare priorities may remain unaddressed.”But it’s more than just mean and inhumane – it’s unconstitutional. With this budget, and the spending priorities it omits or undervalues, South Africa is in effect defaulting on our Constitution, a Constitution that is meant to ensure:Be the “supreme law” that in itssays to future governments “that law or conduct inconsistent with it is invalid, and the obligations imposed by it must be fulfilled”.
Yet the 'royals' of this country get paid millions for salaries for doing nothing!! This is ridiculous we need to end royal salaries and our taxes going to them yet we cannot alleviate poverty and unemployment.. sies ANCmustgo
