President Cyril Ramaphosa’s office says the leak of a confidential presidential economic advisory council (PEAC) report has allowed 'selective quotation from the document, often out of context, to support various agendas'.
Seale said the council was established to provide the president with a range of expert perspectives on economic policies.
“Members of the council hold a range of diverse and nuanced views, which have been presented to the president in various reports and meetings.” The ANC has been considering a basic income grant after instituting a temporary R350 social relief of distress grant during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is expected to come to an end in March.
