Minister Zulu will speak to the media about child support top-up and R350 COVID-19 social relief of distress grants.
In order to live and improve their quality of life, underserved and vulnerable populations rely on social development programs. The month of October has been set aside for social development.
On Monday, October 10, the Minister of Social Development, Ms. Lindiwe Zulu, will provide an update. She will go over the Child Support Grant (CSG) Top-Up and the R350 COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, as well as the department’s plans to make sure that the nation is aware of the services it offers.
The Minister will make the most of the chance to emphasize the requirements and eligibility for South Africans to access the CSG, which is not a replacement for the standard Child Support Grant for orphans in the care of relatives but rather an addition to it. The Minister will utilize this opportunity to emphasize the topic of this year’s Social Development Month, which is “United in the Fight Against Poverty and Other Social Ills.” A status report on the R350 COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress grant will also be supplied to her.
The Department of Social Development will host a seminar on Sexual and Reproductive Health Justice (SRJ) on the same day. The goal of this lecture is to arm the vulnerable and disenfranchised with the information and skills they need to make responsible decisions about their bodies, sexuality, and reproduction.
The Nairobi Summit’s highlights are covered in depth in the ICPD25 Report (2021), “No Exceptions, No Exclusions: Realizing Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice for All,” which will also be discussed during the seminar.

What did Lindiwe Zulu have to say about the R350 grant?
Zulu said that although the eligibility criteria had been tightened, the government was still committed to eradicating poverty. In order to assist underprivileged populations, the R350 grant was established at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
