Social development minister Lindiwe Zulu said government continues to prioritise the provision of all categories of the social wage, despite the sharp economic growth slowdown globally.The continued provision of the R350 social relief of distress grant is proof government stands ready to protect its citizens, especially women, against social issues, says social development minister Lindiwe Zulu.
“The responsiveness of our government to novel challenges is courageously and visibly forthcoming while its long-standing commitments to continually pay the nearly 19-million disability, foster care and child support grants to eligible South Africans is unfaltering,” she said.
The ANC government doesn't want its citizens to be independent. The anc is destroying people with this 350 instead of creating job employment, South Africans must vote other political parties ANC have failed dismally, 🙄
Lindiwe you're not ashamed to utter such nonsensical statement, social grants is definitely a sign of failure of the government to provide adequate jobs and economical turn around.
Kahle wena lohulumeni wakho ukhohlisa abantu nawe uyakwazi lokho nx
Ohk
Typical eg of someone who has outsourced buying of household essentials, she has no clue how much a loaf of bread cost.
These people are printing money at an alarming rate and causing the country’s inflation to rocket out of control... then they’re going to raise interest rates again to compensate for their own deficit spending..!? We need to end this vicious political and economic cycle. Once!
Insult to our people.
I'm convinced these politicians are high on something acidic that eats away their brains and moral fibre.
People need jobs not R350. They just take this money because they are desperate and hopeless. Thank you ANC, amaqabane ka Tambo.
Idiots
A mme thts what she said,🤔
What an insult at its best level..
Yah neh... we're going through kak in this animal farm country
I can't believe there are people who voted for these people and defend them on a daily basis for free. If I was one of their defenders I was gonna charge them a minimum of R50k per tackle.
Sy het net een breinsel en sy gebruik dit om skelm te wees soos om te steel en te lieg
Lets challenge all ministers, they can keep their perks and their salaries, all they have to do is use government hospitals, transport, their children must go to government schools, and thy must also have load shedding. How long do you think they will last...
Nonsense - you are making the voters more and more dependant on this grant ~ “buying” voters votes. How “sic” and shame-full.
Bread R18.99 very 3rd Day = 10 Loaves - Total = R189.90 Peanut Butter - 500g R39.99 x 2 month = R79.98 Rama Butter - 500g R39.99 1 x a month = R39.99 TOTAL = R309.87 oh wow a whole R40.13 left for doctors & climate change … What heros our Gov are
Why doesn’t she live on R350 a month and nothing more for 6 months and see how helpful it is… Wait 2 months will be to much… She probably spends that on 1 meal for herself… Disgusting 🤮 Total BS
Ncinci
What about taxpayers? Paying tax does not mean comfort but stress about meeting financial responsibilities.
What arrogance and undermining of people.
Listen lady are you smoking something? It is the tax payers providing for the grant NOT the Government!
Tripartite alliance policies are antiwork creation.
Looks like men will be nothing hje
R350 PROTECTS YOU FROM CLIMATE CHANGE! Why is the whole world wasting money on ideas for climate change when you can just dish out R350's and the whole world will be fine🤣🤣🤣
She doesn't have a clue what she's talking about.
You mean the tax payers do. Not the government.
Question where does the government get money. I know where... just asking?
This one is missing a few buttons on her remote control🙈.
Explain what you can buy eith R350 to last you a month! Fokall!
You politicians try and live on that grant and when you are a pensioner on that measly pension grant! Shameful and selfish statement this is.
No SA Tax payers protect citizens. Gov do nothing!!!
Eban!
Do these politicians just wake up one morning and decide they are just going to speak rubbish? Or is it every day? Help me understand how R350 protects citizen against economic, health, climate change (of all things!!) How My god! what the heck are we subjected to?!
She is not the first politician to say something like this, its been said before that the grants are more than adequate, the disrespect this govt shows to the people of SA is disgusting and yet people still vote them in.
Can these Ministers live with this R350? Can they give it to their own kids? Why is any of them not taking a salary cut and give it to the needy?Who benefits from this small change?it won't even buy bread 🍞 for the entire month.just for a family of 4...I hate R350 with my soul.
actually its the tax payers money you give and HOW DOES ANYONE SURVIVE ON R350you and your gov are a bunch of empty vessel clowns and thats being generous
What can we do with R350 Instead of giving grant, how about creating more jobs and give ppl the power of purchase. Men and women will be busy and happy to buy more with a jobs .
R350It's an insult she dnt even know how it cost to make a cv
Continues to protect woman? Say what now. R350? Delusional!
😆😆😄😄😃 Another non-Matriculant in the CyrilRamaphosa and Myanc cabinet that eating our taxpayers monies, useless piece of Sh..t
Can u live off 350
also: easy for her to say whilst pocketing a ministerial package of over R2million a year 🙄
So this government wants to score points on hand outs...
To many people born ... With no economic growth. The cycle of poverty is self perpetuating.
Sies
Maybe she should try and live with R350 for a month. Then she must let us know how she fared. We want every detail of her month with R350.
Wa gafa oooo
kzn and gauteng got burnt in 2021 to force her 350s
Voetsek
All it proves is the government’s failure to provide an economic environment where jobs can be created and sustained.
Uyanya
Mxm
Minister,are you prepared to take up a challenge,can you try and live on R350 just for one month Out all your debit and credit cards aside, one month please take me up on that small challenge
Shocks are momentary. They have replaced sustained economic development with placeholder solutions and call that success.
welfare state
No, it proves that the MYANC is only interested in keeping it’s voters dependent on it. If they really want to help the poor, they’d focus on building a successful economy which would provide employment for them. VoetsekANC
They wouldn't need grants if the govt could create an environment that fosters capital investment & thus jobs. A job provides dignity rather than standing in line for a handout. The govt would have you believe that they're providing the grants when in fact its taxpayer funded
What can you buy for that?
Wow these ministers are so far removed for the reality of life. Sis.
Thanks to Tax Payers OfficialSASSA
Hogwash from Ginger
Do you really think that it is sustainable for the anc government to continually carry this excessive burden of R2.7 billion per month. Or are the anc attempting to garner voters for 2024. RIP ESKOM - RIP ANC! VIVA
They don't know what to say anymore serious, this is just ridiculous the same Minister whom doesn't pay for Electricity and Water
The ANC 👇
And she's proud about this🤔
Doesn't buy JWBL. The cheapest amongst the brands of whiskies consumed by ministers. And she expects people to survive on that monthly.
Cash for votes, b!tch…
Eish! Hierdie appel het fokken ver van die boom geval! 🤣
R350 is not proof that the government cares about its citizens, it's proof they want people to continue to vote for them even if they are useless.
Protect ngo R350
🤦🏼. ANC government stole so much that the R350 allowance is not really making headway with the price of commodities. If the stealing government invested all the stolen funds it would have been better
R350 For your vote until the money runs out....then what?
Do they think before speaking?
Nonsense! She has no clue what you can really only do with R350.
This racist hasn't developed a thing in her life . Tsek
GillianYoungBe1 I bet she spent more on that 1 earing than R350.
Government only gives away other people's money
Yes at the tax payers expense. What you should be doing is reducing the unemployment rate, by creating a functional country instead of destroying it and forcing almost 50% of the population to live of measly grants MYANC
No shame Lindiwe and your friends of anc.... this is the same R350 that if one get 10c deposited in their accounts you don't pay it on some 'we have noticed that you have income from an unknown source' jewang ke ditlhong tlheng maANC
People need jobs not grants.
Create employment opportunities so that people can self-sustain. Have you seen the price of bread? What is R350 doing? And don't give us that 'it's better than nothing' kaak. It is in fact nothing. Even beggars in the streets make more than 350 a month. Higher-order mockery!!!!
I doubt very much that she could live on R359 a month, another over paid empty head
Barely,what can you buy with R350, you spend more than that on breakfast alone
For the love of God it's not the government's money, they are giving the tax payers money, and hope we don't remember.
I am sure they subject these so called cabinet ministers to an I Q test and only those that fail qualify to become ministers., 😜
We are Led by non-thinkers🤞
Akan*i perhaps? Her party is destroyed jobs by collapsing the state and when people have no source of income she thinks R350 shoes that they are a caring government. How can a liberation movement be this removed from the people?
Hilarious 😂, politicians are the most senseless people
Rubbish statement she won't feed even her dogs with R350
they condemn majority blacks to the life of grants & unemployment, for them it's an achievement. CRAZY.
✊🏾✊🏾 Amandla comrade, with the ever increasing cost of living that 350 has provided so much to the people
Fine when you giving away money that isn't yours
What is really sad is thst the ANC actually believes the tripe it spews! We need compulsory IQ tests for govt ministers!
More lies they want us to believe
What did I just read
O bolaya ke nnyo
Handing out the scraps your MYANC has not yet stole, to the poor and unemployed is hardly an accomplishment! you have created between 33% and 43% unemployment vs your own 2020 target of 14%! Great success!
🤡
Do she knows what she talks
This minister must have failed economics badly.
Wasn't she found guilty at a Human Rights Commission trial during the Covid pandemic for not handing out food parcels to white children? Reinstated, no-one said nothing now this f&$king shit
The motto is 'keep them under your thumb'. Make permanent dependents out of them.
start governmentsalaryshedding to help the whole country coz the majority of us a battling just to put food on the table and just survive and they just do not care for any of us, just about how much they can put in there pockets, then lets see how quickly things will change!!
She is talking about her😺.
Dakiwe lo mama
Take the grant and give up your voting X for 5 years: state property cannot vote for the state!
ANC just buying votes with TAXPAYERS money! VoetsekANC
No that has nothing to do with women protection, this is ANC pretending to protect women. Women will like a living wage. If they find employment opportunities the 350 will be rendered mute.
Did she mention who actually pays for this? Even the grant earner pays 50% of beggars handout BACK TO GOVERNMEBT !!!! Ie .. the R350 is actually a R175 grant! High earners are paying up to 75% of their earnings to anc gov and are getting 0 baxk for that!!! NOT SUSTAINABLE!!!
She and the Cabinet are the reason why this country can never grow, while they keep the poor, poor. They pat themselves on the back to show how they care for South Africans.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Bull shit. People want to work. Not handouts.
I honestly wanna smoke what they smoking
Sometimes is better this ministers learn to shut their mouth, just imagine R350😠
How does 350 protect a person against climate change. This is beyond ridiculous.
GillianYoungBe1 It is also proof that she fails to understand the concept of the common fly on a sheet of shit.
Can you survive on it?
Fokof, the government must create jobs and stop these stupid social grants for young people.
How much is a losf of bread? R100 electricity gets you less than 50units. Taxi fare 😭 Can we be realistic here, youbv people need jobs not r350
Can they just tell us who came up with this 350 or how did they get to the final decision that people can survive on 350
No. It’s proof of a failed system and it’s the only way the ANC can cling to power. By chaining citizens to social grants people will be too scared to vote otherwise for fear of losing grants. It’s akin to buying votes VoetsekANC
ANC is living proof that there is hell on earth.
Wheelchairs are proof that broken backs arent bad.
R350.00 makes people run their mouth like an engine running on full tank moes😂😂😂
R350.00 makes people run their mouth like an engine running on full tank moes😂😂😂
Bwaaaa ha ha ha ha ha. This lady probably uses more expensive toilet paper than the grant.
Me thinks the unemployment rate amongst the youth supports the minister's claims
ANC paid for nothing. Us taxpayers did.
LindiweZulu6 we have a successful pilot that will help ween people from rural areas off grants…which have been of huge benefit to foreign nationals more than anything. It’s time!
Lol wtf
That may be true but also represents failure of the government to secure an economy that provides gainful employment. In reality every grant is a statistic representing failure of the government
Here is the truth:
It's a way for the useless ANC government to control the oppressed, desperate masses when it's election time. Don't provide jobs, give a dismal monthly grant that encourages this begging bowl mentality and every so now a then a few R200 notes and some KFC to keep them quiet
LindiweZulu6 350 is nothing put yourself in that situation where you only get 350 you won't survive you too.
I think maybe you made a mistake, no one can live with such kind of money. Even a 2 years old child cannot survive for day.
Perception. If municipalities didn't loot so much most of these people could have been employed 🙄 we rebuilding a country. !!!
Seriously.
The fact that she thinks this is a sense of achievement, shows that the she is out of touch with reality of working and unemployed society. As long as she has her lifestyle, people need to appreciate their 350 grant. Sies
Usele ntoni wena?ngoku?
Now we know what ‘price’ MYANC puts on the lives of the poor and destitute 🤔
Really? Qualifications pllleeeaaassseeeeee
Ministers should be pay R350 for the next 10 months. They can keep security and transport, medical and the state accommodation but kids fees and groceries must be covered by the R350
Clutching at straws
'... climate change and similar shocks.' We are led by fools here, struuuu!
A great way to buy votes, a trick as old as democracy. When a government fails it bribes instead.
What a shame, R350,00 can you Lindiwe go to Pick N Pack make for me a monthly grocery with your R350.00, shame on you cruel regime of ANC .
So uGinger think people will live on R350 the whole month something she drink in the shebeen for a minute
BoLindiwe ba swarega wa tseba
😳😂😂😂😂😂
Batho ba ANC aba tšee botse😏
GillianYoungBe1 🤣🤣🤣🤣 enough money to buy a bag of pap and a couple of cabbages. But sorry for you, you will have to walk it home cos there is no money left for the taxi
Is it enough?
You lindiwe, are living proof of being a criminal and looting the poor! Your hair would match that orange coverall in jail one day!
Can you leave on R350 for a month ?
Can she live on 350 a month?
Well if that is true why the hell does she not swop put her R2 mill annual salary for the R350 pm grant and see how happy she will be...
This woman is a complete waste of oxygen. She must go.
GillianYoungBe1 Someone else living in cloud cuckoo land. Can't even buy bread for a month but protected from climate change
Nah nah it’s a drug that u give unemployed individuals in order to vote 🗳 for you looters. Cos u knw if they get jobs they won’t need u
how about these fat cats hand their salaries over and they try live on R350 grant. All this government have done for their people up to date is steal and lie from them. Shameless disgusting humans they are.
It's living proof that you prefer to keep people in poverty Lindiwe Zulu.
This type of irrational statement makes me want to vomit...
Her statement has been 'declined' since last year January 2022 🙅 angizwa lutho yakhe untill am approved again
Making us dependents to gvt meagre grant Minister is nothing short of slavery.Minister Lindiwe, not even your grandchild is given R350 as stipend.Don't you realize the gvt has created dependents so that it may freely follow the NWO script to the letter?What about our social nexus
Idiots
This one is talking out her bums...why does her son have tigers at home
Jy praat Jou beste Kak...mxm
The ANC government doesn't want its citizens to be independent. The anc is destroying people with this 350 instead of creating job employment, South Africans must vote other political parties ANC have failed dismally, 🙄
That R350 should come with some mandatory work.
What the hell is she smoking 🤦🏽♀️
Can these people be voted out Pleassse🙏🏽
She is talking about 350 right🤔
All I can say: regime change.
The taxpayer pays this, not government
They live in an alternate cartoon reality…..
😂😂😂Delusional
🤣
Bathong? R350?
How embarrassing 😖
This is a typical low intelligence ANC cadre. It's not protecting anyone from anything, just making them dependent on ANC handouts for votes. The thieves are fooling nobody. SCUM.
Kudlaliwe ngabantu shame
What a load of bs
I wish the Honorable Minister can go into any food retailer armed with R 350 and see what she'll come out with 🤧.
Yeah, doing a great job ........ 😵😵💫🥴
Only a few are benefiting from this grant. Majority of our people are suffering.
Absolute twak. R350. 'Climate change, similar shocks'. Can we get this lot out please !
Statements made out of influence of botagwa always are like these ones.
People need work, not hand outs in the form of grants
How about creating jobs for 7 million people?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Nonsense
No shame 🤮
Sbhedela uyazi
Go lick lollipop after work😂😅😄
No, protection means that the economy thrives so much that women don't have to sell themselves in onlyfans to make significant money to survive.
Dear Minister, just answer one question. Can you live and survive on R350 a month?
350you are sick
I wonder if the honorable minister can survive with R350 just for one hour of her normal day...
OH Ginger
What the hell can people do with R350?!
How out of touch can you be, constantly!
Ag jy praat loutere kak man
Where is that money come from kante
Ivanka Lindiwe must show me what she can feed her family on R350pm.
Is it 1 April already
It is also living proof, that the government has failed to provide jobs and grow the economy. Jislaaik but some folk are dense, but they are ministers
Most of these ministers think they're talking to three year olds 🙄🙄🙄
She's not Earning it that shit she is saying am sure no o ne in her family is affected by it coz cadre deployment kicked inn for them and us we must be grtful for nonsense shes TALKING nxaaaaaaa
Dream on it just make them more lazy and more pregnant
Yes, I left that as a tip last night for my restaurant dinner. I’m pretty sure that the lovely Lindiwe has too. R350 a month is a fucking outrage.
As long as you still vote ANC your next payment after this R600 is your old age grand 🤞
Isibindi esingaka kulo Sisi wakwa Zulu...ubona ukuthi ngoba singasebenzi sifanelwe ilensambatheka ka R350 Awunamahloni....Mxm
Bragging..that all she ever thought..she probably can't survive with that amount
She's so shameless
That's an insult, grown wo/man can't even buy decent toiletries for a month with this grant
Thanks to the African National Circus (ANC) South Africa is and remains a failed state 🤬
Wonder if you could survive on R 350 per month. How you are still in govt amazes us. Is there anything great that you have done besides just blustering
Well that’s great. You don’t have to worry about creating employment. Another vote for the ANC!!
We know why we have pay these grants hey? It’s because your the ANC crashes the economy.
What poppycock. No-one can survive on R350 per month.
🤣😅😅🤣
Living proof?! Who can live on that? Besides you’re creating a welfare state without enough money in the coffers to maintain or support it. Temporary solutions to appease people to stay in power. You’re making all those lives worse!! F’ing 🤡 VoteThemAllOut
Danger/gevaar stay away from this multimillionaire politicians.
But that is true, but we want more
Protect us from what?
SC . I don’t have a better abbreviation for such .
Climate Change? Bazothenga amaUmbrella?
Uyanya can she live with 350?
Kudala ndambona uyahlanya lomntu
Please can we give Lindiwe Zulu R350 per month for six months! I know for a fact that she won't be looking so spiffy! Where does the health and climate change come in? A weird statement with no forethought.
Gravy train at full steam!
Udakiwe🙄
She should be ashamed that 13.5m SAns of working age applied for this SRD grant. It shows that they have no job prospects due to her and her colleagues sheer incompetence. What can R350 protect you from really? How do they expect people to live!?
Is she on TIK?
Kak You using taxpayers money to pay grants Neither is government or the ANC providing from their own pockets
O buwa bosepa oo....R350 doesn't even last 1 day
Wow, when the corrupt government gets millions, you gloat about people receiving R350 a month. What a big joke. I seriously hope people wake up and see the truth.
And there we’ve just found the solution to ‘climate change’. Give everyone R350 and they’ll be protected against climate change. The only people who talk more kak than the anc are the staff at iqbal’s little rags.
