My mother asked me to.

We are dealing, among other concerns, with 826 kids who lost a mother or father to terror, and 28 youths who have lost both parents.

They wrote us a letter in 2004 suggesting that the mother of this client came forward in 1990 and . . . they suggested that it was the abuse of this kid, when they knew it was his brother, but they never disclosed that. This was not a mistake.

One fine day as my mother was putting the bread in the oven, I went up to her and taking her by her flour-smeared elbow I said to her, "Mama I want to be a painter."

Unfortunately times have changed and that pension now has to look after more than the aged person. Many old people are looking after three or four children and have to buy school clothes....

Unfortunately R10 a year is a very small increase if you look at the cost of caring for a child in today's society.
