Parly Passes Old Age Pension Motion

The motion was passed without suggestions on how much the old age pension should be increased. This means Parliament has agreed to leave the increment figure to the Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Thapelo Matsheka for him to make the decision.

The MPs said the country is experiencing a serious problem of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which needs a lot of money. If the situation improves economically, then the Minister of Finance and that of Local Government and Rural Development should meet and discuss the matter.
