Government has advised social cash transfer beneficiaries in
Sikongo District in Western Province to prudently use the
funds to improve their livelihoods.
District Social Welfare Officer Uluri Mulikita also said
Western Province has great potential in terms of agriculture
which the beneficiaries can invest in.
He urged recipients not to use the funds for luxurious things
like expensive hair stylings on the part of female
beneficiaries and alcohol on the part of males.
He said during validation exercise for the newly captured
beneficiaries at Tuwa Primary School in Sikongo District.
Meanwhile Sikongo District Commissioner Bright Tombi
explained that the social cash transfer funds are purely
government funds aimed at cushioning the impact of
poverty on the vulnerable.
He urged residents not to politicize the funds as well as
other government projects that are being undertaken in the
district.
Adding to 2,937 beneficiaries in the area, over 800 new
beneficiaries have been captured.
