"Category two consists of those workers who came to work when they were needed and they should be given R15 000. The third category is to give all workers who worked during level four of the lockdown R7 500," he said.
Kralo also said the proposal includes admin staff or employees who worked as backup for essential services, those who were on standby and those who were issuing permits.
