President Cyril Ramaphosa says his government is taking 'decisive action' to help the country's economy and hard-hit population.
He added that other measures would be implemented to help businesses hard hit by recent looting to rebuild.
He said the Employment Tax Incentive would be extended for four months to include employees earning below R6,500 and employers encouraged to hire and retain employees, especially those in the retail and hospitality sectors. The president said the country was still coming to grips with the extent of the damage caused during the violent unrest, which was triggered by the imprisonment of former president Jacob Zuma.
