Family and neighbours say the government has failed her, as she lives in"deplorable" conditions. The family shares two one-roomed mud houses, one of which is barely standing after heavy rains last month.
"My children cannot get proper work or go to university because they don't have IDs. [The Department of] Home Affairs says I am too old to have given birth to my children. They don't believe I am their mother," said Nontsasa. "I feel that the municipality should have intervened a long time ago. How can you allow children and an old woman to live in such poverty if you really care about your people? Government has really failed here," said Makholosa.
"I have made initial contact with various government departments to try and help this family. We identified it as destitute. So I will have to make follow-up meetings with Home Affairs and Human Settlements departments soon," said Nzumo.

GroundUp_News Eastern Cape is the most underdeveloped region in South Africa I have ever seen!
GroundUp_News What African leaders do to their citizens is so unfair, like they all deserve to be stoned to death. I wish it will get better anytime soon but it will never. But then also having a lot of children at this perilous time is tricky.

GroundUp_News This is priority please help this family EC government. There are many of these families in SA.
GroundUp_News The blame is squarely on the ward councillor who should have done all the ground work to help this family. It seems the children were not even registered after their births. Hope they get help soon. Sad

GroundUp_News I fead the article. The government / anc is being blamed. My other question now arises. No ID because she can't prove the kids are her own through birth. Where were they born then? Surely hospital records are kept?

GroundUp_News She must visit OfficialSASSA . She can get R1780 and the children R420 each. That is R3040. They can get the necessities , that is food, clothes, beds bedding etc.
GroundUp_News No. Politics won't resolve your laziness. Pakishani izimpahla ekhoneni kahle, nishanele phansi. Imali ye grant niyisebenzise kahle ukondla izingane. Usisi angacela umsebenzi emakhishini. Kutshalwe ngaphandle izithelo. Ipolotiki ayincedi mekunje, qha! Sukumani.
