The BIG should be taxable and UNIVERSAL, ie paid to every legal resident of South Africa. It should ultimately replace all other grants, which would be a source of some of its funding.
It needs to be an unconditional taxable universal basic income grant paid to ALL legal residents - #socialcohesion

It could be partially funded by reducing politicians' income to a fixed multiple of per capita GDP.

#basicincome is the real world execution of passing 'go' in monopoly. No matter how badly one plays there is always an income
dailyinvestor.com/south-africa/4… Poltiking aside....The grant should be offered as a UNIVERSAL taxable basic income grant offered to ALL South Africans/permanent residents regardless of employment/income status and it should be followed by a phasing out of ALL other grants
All Social grants should be phased out in favour of a Universal Basic income grant
Just by redeploying, not reducing existing grants will provide a universal basic income grant
Universal Basic Income Grant is...🎼Easy if you try🎶
A universal Basic Income Grant ensures that ALL taxpayers contribute towards a minimum wage and not ONLY job creating employers
It's a question of reprioritising government expenditure

Surely if employers can pay lower wages, they will employ more people? The BIG can be used as collateral and support for transport and related costs of job seeking

1. If everyone without exception receives the grant it will contribute to social cohesion. 2. Everyone will GET a grant nothing will be taken away.

Seriously? you are looking for a thesis on twitter (X)?There is no deployment of a proper BIG anywhere in the world, so all these points need to be explored as a thesis not dismissed out of hand.

Why do we not extend the R350 per month grant to ALL as a taxable basic income grant?

Initially BIG is paid to people who are not already receiving a grant and gradually align them. Alignment is important because it cuts out the cost of assessment of eligibility.
