To further improve on our commitment to addressing poverty amongst older persons, effective from 1 April this year the means test for the old age grant has been raised from R33 000 per year by a significant R11 000, to bring it to R44 000 per year. Over the next few years, the means test will be effectively abolished, as the entire population of older persons over 60 years must benefit from a universal old age pension. [Applause.]
