DA Chief Whip Siviwe Gwarube says her party is planning to increase child support grants in a bid to fight hunger in children if they win the upcoming general elections.

Gwarube and other DA leaders inspected social grant paypoints in East London on Monday where they interacted with beneficiaries.

“Our key message is very simple, if people want to protect their social grants, they need to vote for a government that is not going to steal the money that is meant to go them,” she said.
