Abstract
South Africa is widely acknowledged as having a social grant system that is unusual in the developing world in terms of its scope and effectiveness in reducing and alleviating poverty. The grants are recognised for achieving major impact without imposing conditions on grant recipients. Despite this acknowledged success, there are repeated suggestions that South Africa should consider imposing conditions. The suggestions arise, in particular, in respect of the child support grant. This Children Count brief looks at the arguments and counter-arguments for having conditions attached to the child support grant (CSG).
