Sehoke looks strikingly young, but her eyes speak of weariness. However, her voice is that of someone hopeful. As the weeks dragged on after the president’s speech, she depended on the kindness of her close-knit community to assist with essentials such as maize meal and meat. Finally, the grant application process started on 11 May. Sehoke hastily applied.
— an alliance of social movements, trade unions and community organisations — said the grant had been a small but essential policy that has helped about five million families put food on the table at a time where the poverty rate increased sharply. Puffing on a cigarette, Lumkwani takes a break from the wall he had been hired to build in Lawley township, south of Lenasia. He quickly explains that since dropping out of school in grade 11, everything has been stacked against him. have been hired to build a wall in Lawley township.
“They told me that I would not get my money. There is always a story here. It was my first time queuing, but I’ve heard stories of people who were turned back because there was no money.”Lumkwani and his friend Lerato Khoase, who helped him build the wall, do not trust the government system — even with this grant money. “You could stand there the whole day, and they will tell you [the system] is offline, no matter what time you wake up.
Lumkwani had received R1 050. After paying the taxi, he spent the rest on groceries for his daughter, girlfriend and grandmother. But, according to thereleased in December, this lump sum would not be enough for an average household monthly food basket, which has increased by R161.89 to R4 018.22. Since dropping out, Malepeng has been trying to run a stockbroking business. He also dyes people’s clothes. But by May there was not much business for him or his mother. He applied for the grant for himself and his 20-year-old sister. Three months later he went to the Post Office to check.

You can't trust the government if post offices that served the communities for more than 20 years can be closed and our senior citizens are being transported with a panel Van from Kagiso to Krugersdorp. Clearly we are in trouble.
I saw people yesterday in Upington queue in the rain to apply for this grant. Are there really not a more humane way to make sure people apply for these grants. Can't they employ more people on contract to ensure the speedy applications of these grants. Its heartbreaking🥺🥺
And the appeals email blocks emails.
