The Democratic Alliance (DA) has challenged Minister of Social Development, Bathabile Dlamini, to live on R753 for an entire month, after she said that it was adequate for social grant beneficiaries.

 

Calculations by Wits researchers puts the estimated cost of essential food and non-food items needed to survive at R1,319 for a single person – and R5,276 for a household of four in SA.

If you aren’t thinking about owning a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.
