GOOD Party Expresses Disappointment Over Lack of Social Security Overhaul Commitment in State of the Nation Address

South Africa’s GOOD Party has voiced disappointment with President Ramaphosa’s failure to commit to a comprehensive social security overhaul. While the president reinforced plans to transition to a permanent basic income grant, achieved through extending and amending the social relief of distress grant, the GOOD Party’s secretary-general, Brett Herron, contends that basic income support serves as the fundamental basis upon which the government can construct a stable and effective economy.
