SASSA administers all of South Africa’s social grants, including child support grants, disability grants and foster care grants. Maclou discussed some of the lesser-known grants including the care dependency grant, which is available for people who look after a disabled child or foster an orphan with AIDS.
Leonore Beukes was the second speaker for the evening. She followed up on a previous presentation on transfrontier conservation areas and discussed a proposal for a group of CPUT alumni to visit a cultural village on the Swaziland border.
The Gauteng alumni will be contacted in the upcoming month with further information regarding the proposed trip.
