Godongwana also introduced the Extended Child Support Grant, a new social award for double orphans, “to promote the care of orphans within families rather than foster care.”

He also validated the R350 Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant’s 12-month continuation. On this, R44 billion will be spent.
