Advocacy group the Black Sash on Monday said it was vital that government fast-tracked the implementation of the proposed basic income grant to help those left destitute by the lockdown. Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu called for the implementation of the basic income grant in the National Assembly just over a week ago. The grant has been in the pipeline for years now and the Black Sash said it must be implemented as soon as possible to fight poverty and unemployment. Faith is joined by Neil Coleman, Senior Policy Specialist at the Institute for Economic Justice to talk about the grant.
