FATIMA WADEE: “I love my children so whatever money that I spend it’s on them, not for me. But I do buy clothes and other stuff for myself. It’s just a couple of Rands, not much.”
The COURIER asked women around the community on how much they spend on themselves a month? This is what they had to say:
DIKELEDI MAOEUG: “I spend about R2 000 on myself because as a lady one has to look exquisite. I buy make-up and clothes. Not to say I am irresponsible. No it’s just that I love myself a lot and pampering for myself is important to me.”EMHALE CHUAKE: “As a lady sometimes you have to look the part so I spend as much as I can, which can be around R1 000. I believe that even if you don’t have money you try by all means to look clean.”SONJA BEITS: “I love attending weekend markets so I can say that I spend my money there and I can’t say how much I spend. At most of the weekend markets one has to buy food and pay for the activities so that’s where I can say I spend my hundreds.”PRECIOUS GUMDI: DIKELEDI MAOEUG: “When I have money all I think about is groceries and I can say I spend my money at Shoprite. If maybe I can get a job then I will be able to spend money on myself.”
