Grandparents to lose foster child grant
We heard from Paula Proudlock – From UCT's Children's Institute. She was speaking
to us about the latest high court ruling whereby grand parents are said to no longer
qualify for foster child grants. This comes
after judgement was handed down by Judge Halima Salduker in the South Gauteng
High Court last week. According to the judge, grandparents no longer qualify for the foster child grant of R 770 per month but will get the child support grant for children in their care at a monthly rate of R 280. Child law experts expressed their concern of the
consequences of the judgment. For further information you can contact the
