SASSA grant debate takes an unexpected turnUnlike much of the surrounding debate, which splits sharply between scrapping grants altogether and imposing a hard cap on children, Müller’s proposal doesn’t ask whether families deserve support. It reframes the question entirely: should support come as cash, or as guaranteed essentials every child needs regardless of circumstance? SASSA has not commented on the care box proposal or confirmed any changes to its Children’s Grant policy. For now, it remains one idea among many in a public debate that shows no signs of slowing down.
