'People should not be incentivised to have children they can't afford'
Radio personality DJ Warras has been lambasted on social media, after he questioned the child grant system, claiming that “people should not be incentivised to have children they can't afford”.
“I don't agree with the child grant payment, before Covid-19. That whole payment for children is just a s**t plan. People should not be incentivised to have children they can't afford,” he tweeted. I have since deleted the tweet as the point I was making was not understood. I was trying to make a point about absentee fathers who leave single mothers & the state to bare the responsibility of raising their children.“Do you think it’s viable to just keep allowing fathers to abandon their responsibility because there is a grant? They’re not accountable at all? And if you think R400 is enough to raise a child, get in touch with reality yourself. It’s f**kall.
