He spoke about this during his fact-finding visit held yesterday at Sakhile in Standerton.
“As a department we are not providing a social grant, we are funding businesses. I have noticed that these days young people start their own business but fail to sustain them. Such things need to be addressed. The funds are not social grants. Youths are expected to use the money to grow their business, and it is important to start a sustainable business.”
