Why This Financial Support Is Crucial For Low Income Workers
Many workers with low wages struggle to pay for basic needs like food and getting to work. The money they get helps them pay for bus tickets and train fares. They also receive food vouchers worth 400 R which lets them buy some groceries to last the month. This support helps the people who keep our economy running, such as cleaners security guards, shop workers and service staff. It’s not just help – it shows we value these important workers.
