RandDigital:
You're very comfortable with your politicians chopping all your oil wealth for themselves.

In SA we understand our gold, platinum and diamonds belong to everyone who lives in the country, not just the 1% elite.

Why are Nigerian elites benefiting from your resources and you the common man are left to japa for a better life?

Set your brain to human default settings, MariaDevilish🤡, Arab citizens get free money for their oil, Scandinavians too. Are they also lazy?

bonetalk:
More people would prefer to stay idle, after all there's free coming from government. More entitlement, more crime

Mariangeles:
The normal human brain setting is to expect to get paid WHEN YOU WORK, not just expect free money.
Then again, it's South Africa we're talking about here.

[s]By the way, behave yourself.
You're on a NIGERIAN FORUM[/s].

RandDigital:
You just spewed your ignorance in bold letters to the public.

SA has a 90%+ literacy rate, only 8M out of 60M+ population receive grant. The rest have their own source of income.

Here's what the black government has achieved for South Africans since 1994. Can Nigerian government compare?

You're brainwashed to believe you don't deserve anything from your oil wealth while Tinubu and his children pig out on your resources and you're left to japa to SA for a better life.

Segzy19:
Lol! That will further make them lazy....
That's what they want.... Handouts from the government. They can't think, they can't work....

I tell you! That R350 goes for alcohol

Allahismylord:
Is it your father's forum?
You carry this oppressive and gutter Nigerian behavior come online too.

EponObi:
90%+ literacy rate, only 8M out 60M are poor but you people are claiming foreigners are taking your job and violently expelling them your country, while maiming them too? What kind of mental gymnastic is that?

victorazyvictor:
The poor will get poorer.
More alcohol & drug abuse.

BlocksNG:
In Nigeria, minimum wage is $40.

eepeepook:
Hopefully our government will follow the initiative.

Okay. Good for them. However, isn’t it better to teach them skills rather than putting money in their hands ? Just like the proverb “ Give a man fish and you feed him and his family for one day ; Teach a man how to fish and you feed his generations for a lifetime” .

Helinuse:
Deserving only because they are citizens?
Meaning you want to take cash from the people who have worked for it as tax, and hand it over to the people who haven't worked for it as social grants?

faceland:
And even worst... More entitlement. They would soon ask for raise.

Its their country.

dominique:
There should be social welfare packages to the poor in every country but how can one differentiate the poorest of the poor from those that are just managing?

The Department of Social Development (DSD) hopes to finalise the policy for a new Basic Income Support (BIS) grant by March 2027, getting it ready for implementation.

The BIS is the new social grant the government plans to use to replace the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress grant, which has been extended far beyond its original intent.

The SRD grant was a R350 per month support grant, later lifted to R370, launched in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to help qualifying South Africans weather the economic uncertainty at the time.

The department noted that the grant was only ever expected to be in effect for six months, but over 8 million recipients became dependent on the support.

The DSD characterised the billions spent on the grant as a “success” because it directly addressed poverty, noting that recipients mainly used the money to buy food, electricity, and clothing.

This, it said, then supported local economies.

“Research by multiple independent researchers also found the SRD grant to be well targeted and successful in reducing hunger, poverty and inequality while also enabling the participation of beneficiaries in job search and other economic activity,” it said.

Because of this, the national government, supported by the presidency, is moving to transform the SRD grant into a new Basic Income Support policy, which is currently being processed.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has long supported the new grant and, in his 2026 State of the Nation Address, promised that the rework of the new grant would happen this year.

I see whites retaking over SA again.

RandDigital:
Yes, the anti-migration sentiment is most prominent amongst the poor because they're the ones losing out on employment because foreigners work for far less money. SA labour is unionized and we've fought for years for living wages only for undocumented immigrants to undo all those gains.

The other 60M people in SA also suffer from high crime rates exacerbated by illegal migration. Why do you think the US and Europe don't want illegal migrants? Illegal migration does lead to crime because undocumented people function outside the official system.
