Skweyia Favours Basic Income Grant
Back in 1999 national elections the DA ran on a platform that included a basic income grant (BIG). At the time the ANC pooh-poohed the idea as being unworkable and impractical. But in a turnaround Social Development Minister Zola Skweyiya has now come out in favour of the BIG. Of course he’s careful to stress that this is just his personal opinion and not that of the ANC.
