I am sorry but i don't feel pity for these people.When will some people in this country stop waiting for handouts? So what if the home affairs bungled their name? Are their hands and legs broken? No!
The adult children (except for the mentality ill one) should get off their lazy ass and do something to earn a living.I know people who came to this country with absolutely nothing but managed to succeed by working their way from the bottom and they never had an ID.
There are a lot of small businesses these guys can set up to make some income e.g
They can go to the Taxi ranks and car parks and set us make shift car washes.the can buy sweets and fruits from the depots and resell them at the taxi rank.The males can go and work in construction ,there are always unskilled jobs available in the construction industry. They can also buy clipper and set up a makeshift barbing saloon in the taxi rank or their neighborhood to make a living.The list of things they can do in SA is limitless.
People like this family should stop having this give ,give mentality and actually go out and mingle.This woman has at least 4 adult children who are able bodied not to mention at least one grandchild who is of the age of 20 but no ,the lazy choose to wait for grandma to provide the goodies.She already has a free RDP house ,that is more than some people get from their Government in other parts of the world.
Where i come from ,we never sit back and give up or wait for the Government to give us freebies.We get the fxck up and make it happen,no retreat no surrender! Remember this is Africa,we all have sh1tty Governments so don't expect much from them.Just pave your way with hard work ,dedication as well as financial discipline and you will pull through.SA is a wonderful country with a lot of opportunities that is why foreigners thrive here.The unemployed locals should mix and learn from foreigners on how to be entrepreneurial instead of always waiting for the Government to solve their problems.
