A judgment handed down by the South Gauteng
High Court last week has determined that grandparents no longer qualify for
foster child grants.
Paula Proudlock of the Children's Institute
says there are approximately thirty-five-thousand orphans currently living with
relatives who are receiving the foster child grant.
The
majority of these relatives are grandparents.
She says the judgment will most likely lead
to grandparents losing their grant money once care orders are reviewed
