Pretoria - About 7 million beneficiaries of the special Covid-19 caregiver grant will from next week receive R500 less than they did during lockdown.
Compelling fiscal reasons justify the limited ‘top- up monies’ period be denied relief at a time of suffering brought on by the pandemic – while the State of Disaster remains firmly in place. The urgent application was brought by the Black Sash Trust, assisted by the Centre for Applied Legal Studies, on the eve of the expiry of the special grant.
The trust wanted to interdict the government from stopping the grant pending a later application to review and set aside the decision not to extend it.Sassa said the grant would not be paid beyond the end of October. He said in a year of financial crisis for the government, the demands made by the trust would have grave financial implications for the public purse, and suggested that the judiciary should be called to intervene when it came to public finances.
