Supreme Court of Appeal to hear the state's appeal on the R370 Social Relief of Distress grant

The Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein will hear the state's appeal against a High Court ruling on the R370 Social Relief of Distress grant. The High Court previously found parts of the application process were unconstitutional and unfairly excluded vulnerable people. Government is challenging that decision. Civil society groups say barriers are still leaving some of South Africa's poorest without vital support. We spoke to Nkosinathi Sithole, Head of Litigation at Socio-Economic Rights Institute (SERI).
