An economist at UCT, Prof Haroon Bhorat, with the ear of President Cyril Ramaphosa, has questioned the effectiveness of the social relief of distress (SRD) on employment, suggesting the money should be allocated to the informal sector to spur investment-driven growth. Independent Political Analyst, Khaya Sithole, joined Sizwe Dhlomo to weigh in and speak about the ideas that came out of this discussion attended by Prof Bhorat, to fix the underlying challenges relating to social grants.
