Alex family struggles without grant

Alexandra resident Sandile Mbuyane cannot support her family because she hasn’t received her grant since July.

The grant supports the single mother and her children.

“We are currently struggling,” she said. “I am unemployed and have no other source of income. I have not received the money (R300) for months now and it has made things very difficult for my family and I.

“I have all the receipts that show that the money has been loaded but I get turned away every time come to collect it.”

Mbuyane said she was told to go to the South Africa Social Security Agency office in Midrand.

She added that she did not have money to go to Midrand and she doesn’t know what else to do.
