Social Relief of Distress grant extended to March 2024

The COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant – also known as the R350 grant – is expected to be extended to the end of March 2024. This as government continues to consider options for a replacement for the grant with no decision taken yet on how the replacement will be financed. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana announced the extension of the grant during his presentation of the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement in Parliament on Wednesday afternoon. “The SRD grant was introduced in May 2020 as a temporary measure to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable, who were affected by [COVID-19 induced] lockdown measures.

Clarify why the Bill of rights provides for Section 36 which sets limits to the exercise of all the rights in South Africa.


Section 36 of the South African Constitution is known as the Limitation Clause, and it sets out the conditions under which the rights contained in the Bill of Rights may be limited. The Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of South Africa's constitutional democracy, and it sets out the fundamental rights and freedoms that all South Africans are entitled to.


However, the Constitution recognizes that there may be times when these rights need to be limited in the interests of other important values, such as national security, public order, or the protection of the rights of others. Section 36 provides a framework for determining when and how such limitations may be imposed


The purpose of Section 36 is to ensure that any limitations on rights are reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality, and freedom. This means that any limitation must be aimed at achieving a legitimate aim, such as protecting public safety, and must be proportional to the harm that it seeks to prevent.
