DA would double child grant if it gets into power

I think it is criminal in South Africa that one in four children die every day thanks to malnutrition

I Agree. If people managed to kill their kids treat them like criminals don't reward them with money.
 
right, so this is about money for simply having a child, thought its about orphans. orphans fall under this too.

One in four each day? Damn that is some black death numbers we have going on :whistle: 3 child policy and even more free condoms and a R50 increase in child benefits. I think charities should get R1000 per kid.

Wait I take it all back why not just provide a credit at grocery stores so that the parents can't use the money to buy alchohol?

1 in 4 ... every day dies...right.

So if there are 10 million kids today:

Day 2 there are 7,5 million:

Day 3 there are 5,6 million:

Day 4 there are 4,2 million:

Day 5 there are 3,2 million:

Day 6 there are 2,7 million:

Day 7 there are 1,8 million:


I say we give it a month...at some point there will be few enough kids to share the nutrition.
 
You guys realise how long it takes to actually get this money? My mil looked after her two grandkids ordered by the court, after 8 months she only received the money. The kids were already gone
 

Hello population explosion and massive Black Label sales increase.

Stupid DA is stupid. You are feeding the ****ing problem.

Why not use that extra funds and focus on family planning clinics? There's an idea
 
The truth is we have a broken political system in that the ruling party are basically far right politicians with a leftist agenda. If DA where to compete with the ANC they essentially have to leftist politicians with right wing agenda.

If DA wants to compete they'll need to get a black image in overall leadership. They'll need a new logo, change colour etc. They'll need to shake off the NP image basically
 
I still support taxation on both parties whenever a second child and more gets born. Obviously going to receive some hate from the parents here but I'll stand by this 100%
 
Buying votes with the promise of bigger grants?

I doubt we can afford this.
The point is to get them to vote for you so you gain control, nobody cares about the consequences afterwards..
 
Media sensationalism. From a DA MP:

The DA has not decided it will double child grants. a) it’s a resolution for discussion, along with 50 others. b) even if passed likely to have numerous caveats eg progressively realized, based on making cuts elsewhere, dependent on fewer beneficiaries as economy grows etc.

eh sure...right after you fix the budget and the part where population growth > economic growth
 
Maybe the grant system should work backwards. Starts as high as possible with one kid and reduces with every additional kid. Got to disincentivise people having more kids than they can afford.

The planet is going to be ruined by those in the world who are most poor, least educated and least productive producing by far the most offspring.
