South Africa spends roughly 60% of its budget on the social wage – which can only increase if the economy grows.
President Cyril Ramaphosa says that focus must be directed at building the economy to strengthen social protection measures and support the poor.
He referenced the following achievements, including the fact that over 13 million learners receive basic education, with many attending no-fee schools. Ramaphosa said that through the country’s social support system, it is meeting its collective responsibility to the most vulnerable in society as well as investing in the country’s future.
Godongwana said, however, that the government is trying to keep within budget without any increased taxes or hindrances to the social wage.Ramaphosa said that the country’s social wage is well-targeted and has been effective in providing benefits to the poorest households.
