As 29 May’s General Election draws nearer, what is each major party’s stance on 2024 SASSA grants? Let’s elaborate …
President Ramaphosa inferred earlier this year that 2024 SASSA grants would simply disappear if the ruling African National Congress was not reelected. Now, rather controversially, theappears to have been hastily increased as a way to win over contituants. But is there a better way to handle 2024 SASSA grants? We compare each major party’s stance on the matter …The Democratic Alliance is in favour of 2024 SASSA grants, except doing them ‘right’ and focussing on childcare.
The Democratic Alliance’s Bridget Masango says, “Social grants are a constitutional right and any suggestion that the DA would take them away if elected is patently false and misleading.” Furthermore, the party’s ‘pro-poor policies’ will avoid cadre deployment and corruption by doing the following:Extend the child grant to expectant mothers to ensure nutrition of unborn babies.Simplify and streamline social grant applications for the disabled.
The Economic Freedom Fighters have also rallied around the topic of 2024 SASSA grants and said they will double them if they come to power. Whether it’s simply pre-election grandstanding or not, Julius Malema says he will increase 2024 SASSA grants like so:disbursement for matriculants without jobs and increase it incrementally for graduates with additional tertiary education.
The Inkhata Freedom Party says it will stick with 2024 SASSA grants and potentially increase them, although it does not specify by how much exactly. ActionSA and Rise Mzansi say they will expand 2024 SASSA grants, including a basic income grant, and introducing food stamps.grants. Understandably, any new ruling party or coalition would face tremendous backlash should it suddenly move away from such an ingrained financial support structure.
