AdvBMkhwebane Poor independent pensioners disparately trying not to be a burden to the State and State Coffers. These increases are besides medical aid, home, insurances, home maintenance, fuel and car maintenance, food, levies, safety & home security costs, increased tax burden 😢

AdvBMkhwebane and salaries remain the same huh

In essence it a total of approx 23% that will hit hard on workers salary of 3% last year. Workers will remain poor in thus burgeoiese state/capitalist. They are breaking this down so that it doesn't come across too much. Kudlaliwe ngathi stru
