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.
Wow! This is wonderful on paper, but In reality I see your people go around all social media platforms complaining and cussing the ANC government for failing them. Go to YouTube, tiktok, Facebook and the rest and see them. One was even saying South Africa was better during apartheid than when the blacks took over and ruined the country.
I rarely read or see anyone of them saying anything complementary about the ANC government.
It seems you are an ANC paid online agent.

Some of the things we refuse to push for within ourselves and went to SA to be fighting locals for.

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” .
Some people should be given fish. Not everyone will have to fish that is why there are class in the society. Not all of them receiving the grant will become foolish. Some will use it meaningful. If our government decides to be giving you 500k you know what you will be in the next few years.

😂 I'm not an agent.

Liberation movements across Southern Africa have been losing their popularity and so has the ANC, hence all the negativity in social media. The party does remain the biggest in SAa though, and as much as we complain about it there's also alot it has accomplished for the country. Lest we forget.

That's why they refuse to work and get busy, looking for government hand-outs,and envying those who work hard
Re: South Africa Finalising Permanent R350 Monthly Grant For The Poor by bunmmy5: 8:12am On Jul 02
Its a national cake, let them have their share of it. Its a practise accross western countries, once they check ur level of income is below the level expected not one giving 50k to sell agbada and kulikuli as empowerment.

More people would prefer to stay idle, after all there's free coming from government. More entitlement, more crime
Not true it will rather help in reducing crime rate and extreme poverty in SA if nigeria has such in place i don't think many nigerians will be risking their lives to travel to all kinds of countries just to escape extreme poverty at home.

Well, this is a common problem with welfare. Pus it creates dependency. Still, it has to be done because there are vulnerable people who need it.

Every solution creates new problems.

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?
Don't mind these jealous nigerians i admire you south africans for your unity on your effort in holding your corrupt government to account and demanding from them kudos to you south africans. I wished we nigerians could do the same but i doubt it, we are only good at been tribalists amongst ourselves, some of us are even supporting our corrupt politicians who are looting our own money and sharing it amongst themselves and their children we are co.wards who are afraid of our govament.


We cannot even querry our govament over the terrorisms, banditry, kidnapping and insecurity in nigeria, what some of us are concernd about is how South Africans are lazy drunks. Nigerians are obsessed with you south africans they wished they have a country like south africa.

They don't want to hear the truth about the decay, bad governance, insecurity and poverty in nigeria, if anyone tries to bring it up in conversation all he/she would get would be insults and tribal derogatory remarks and some will rather japa to south africa instead of staying here and fixing our country. When they arrive SA they start behaving the same way they behave here, when you guys try to stop them they claim Xenophobia.

I support South africans in what ever way they want their govament to treat and serve them the people are the govament not the corrupt politicians.

They prefer collecting this than working yet keep shouting foreigners are taking their jobs
I thought it was about jobs and local businesses being taken by foreigners. Abi my eyes dey deceive me? cry So it was all about getting free public money, not to really contribute anything to the economy.

If laziness was a person, he will be named South Africa. Spits! sad I cannot remember the last time Nigerians were all over the place protesting for free money from the government. Nigerians are indeed hardworking people.

How is South Africa government giving South Africans your problem. You are the type that causes problem for Nigerians in South Africa. You called them lazy, as if it is you that worked for the money their government want to give them. You called them all sort of unprintable names and still expect them to smile at us. Some people like you took this stupid attitude outside the country and cause problems for Nigerians.
Exactly, they are just jealous, they wished they have a country like south Africa. America and US does the same but here in nigeria we are been taken advantage of by our corrupt govament looting the money for themselves and all some us are concernd is how south africans are lazy. grin who is losing? We or the south africans?

These are the kinda people who have never left their poor mud huts ever, they have never even been to south africa never met a south african ever yet they believe that south africans are lazy drunks.

Not all government money comes from personal taxes. A society with less poverty is safer, healthier, and more stable. Unless you're ok with world poverty like most African politicians.
There is absolutely NOTHING like free money.
Money is worked for.
And sorry, African politicians are not "ok with world poverty." They just don't have the brains to address the poverty in their country. That is why they ALL fall back to dishing out cash to people who don't deserve it, exactly how you recommend.

Notice that the West doesn't give cash to people who don't deserve it, only when they want to keep them in perpetual and generational dependence, like the black community of America with their EBT cards.

When America wants to give real money, it gives tens of Billions of dollars to the Fords, General Motors, and Bentley. They know who deserves money. That is why Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, etc., are still third-world countries and, in net economic terms, are worse than most African countries, despite their flashy cars, streets, and buildings.

How does staying idle leads to more crime?
Are you seriously asking this ridiculous question? Indolence and crime are inseparable. Work keeps a normal adult physically and mentally occupied, leaving him with very little room to devise vices.

Meanwhile, the day the system can no longer support free dough, expect looting visitors at your business place and residence.

Why is crime higher among young people, a largely unemployed demographic? Maybe you should read up.

They dream first say Nigeria government that is so corrupt will give money to her citizens. COVID 19 as case study, during the pandemic Nigerians cried bitterly for COVID relief fund be paid directly to bank accounts, Federal government hand it over to state government and the states decides to be sharing 1 cup of rice and small tin cup oil as palliative and we call ourselves the giant of Africa.
Re: South Africa Finalising Permanent R350 Monthly Grant For The Poor by LordLicifer(m): 8:36am On Jul 02
I commend south africans for their unity and strenght in their effort to demand good governance from their govament.

The people are the govament not the corrupt politicians.


Kudos to South africans!! for the people calling south africans lazy drunks. Well.... they managed to achieve what they want from their govament , unlike us here who claim not to be lazy drunks grin

I support the lazy drunks!! if you don't like it Come and beat me i am here in my mansion. cheesy

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.
Okay ...but what's the percentage of people involved in crime between Illegal immigrants and South Africans ...pls speak with facts ...I want to know if all the crimes committed in SA are done by just illegal black immigrants...and other Race immigrants in SA are all saints ..cos If foreign immigrants accounts for only 15 percent of total prisoners in your country ...then which people account for the remaining 85 percent?
Re: South Africa Finalising Permanent R350 Monthly Grant For The Poor by eepeepook: 8:46am On Jul 02
One thing I’ve learned is people who post comments of this sort are based outside the country. Of course it won’t disturb you, you’re in a place where people are considered valuable to a company’s survival.

Incognito403:
Follow what?! Giving money to lazy and irresponsible people?! No, we don't do that here and we don't want it here.

We're satisfied with our rickety empowerment programs.

No, thank you.
Re: South Africa Finalising Permanent R350 Monthly Grant For The Poor by eepeepook: 8:51am On Jul 02
Either posted the same comment twice or this is another account based abroad. Terrorism stemmed from people believing the system in place would never favour them. Thus they chose to take by force. If payment of monthly benefits was a thing, robbery statistics would reduce by a little close to half.

Helinuse:
Follow suit to do what?
Hand cash to undeserving people?
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?

Do you even know what a socialist economy ends up becoming?
