The ANC-led government is committed to poverty eradication. The 2019 budget is pro-poor people, enabling national departments, provinces and local government to provide water, sanitation, electricity, roads, housing, informal settlement upgrade and title deeds. A Human Settlement Development Grant to the value of R7,4 billion has been allocated over the Medium Term Expenditure Framework, MTEF; as well as a Municipal Emergency Housing Grant and the indigent policy cushioning the poor people with free basic services or necessities.
