  1. That’s bullshit, alternative income identified? Give us our money and stop playing hide and seek gambling with people’s lives. It’s like you forgot why we getting paid the R350’s, it’s for unemployed residents of South Africa. Social destres. Not who have R50 in their banks and who doesn’t have R50 in their banks. Every month we paying a certain fare for the bank accounts we owning. The money goes up each month if account not maintained. Bad credit score cos of sassa. Voetsik plus you don’t pay in time
