Work on Basic Income Support is underway
Government is working on a way to develop a mechanism for targeted Basic Income Support (BIS) for the most vulnerable, within the country’s economic constraints.
“This will build on the innovation we have introduced through the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant, including linking the data that we have across government to make sure we reach all those who are in need,” said President Cyril Ramaphosa during the State of the Nation Address (SoNA).
