Basic Income Grant: An urgent case to the President and National Treasury

Beyond realising human rights or morality, a Universal Basic Income Grant (UBIG) would have a profound economic impact by removing barriers that keep the majority of people locked out of the economy, especially low-income black women.

Come join us on the morning of Wednesday, 28 January 2026, at the Nelson Mandela Foundation, with a panel of experts, as we discuss why the UBIG is critical for inclusive economic growth.
