According to the DA President Jacob Zuma has apparently picked another DA policy and given it another name.

The DA’s shadow minister of finance Tim Harris said the job seekers grant appears to be a narrow version of the opportunity voucher that has been central to DA policy for a decade.

Harris said they welcome the fact that the president is talking about a grant to help job seekers to find work, to help cover the costs of finding work.

He added that this is something that they have spoken about under their opportunity voucher policy.

Harris said it is clear that the president is at least talking about another DA policy.
