Zulu warns crooked applicants, as she launches new relief grant via TheCitizen_News
The Covid-19 special grant application system will be under close scrutiny for potential crooked applicants, with Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu issuing a stern warning to those seeking to take advantage of the dispensation.
The minister said the department has revised its systems and have strengthened the modus operandi for the roll-out of the R350-monthly Covid-19 social relief of distress grant and have piloted and tested a new contactless application system. She said a dedicated WhatsApp line – a concept tested through the health department – has been set up to receive applications.
Limited services will be provided from Sassa local offices, which progressively opened from yesterday, with Mondays and Tuesdays dedicated to receiving applications from older persons. “Again priority will be given to caregivers with new babies, instances where the caregiver has to change or where circumstances have resulted in caregivers having no income to support their children,” the minister said.
