04 January 2021 - NW2955
Masango, Ms B to ask the Minister of Social Development
What (a) has been the ratio of grant recipients to the population since 27 April 1994 and (b) is the proportion for each year to date?
Reply:
The table below indicates the numbers of grant recipients per year as at 31 March of each year, from 1996/97, expressed as a percentage of the populations estimates. Unfortunately, the data from 1994 is not available, as this had not yet been consolidated into a single database, but was managed provincially.
