Some extended Public Works workers and pensioners not paid for two months
Some extended Public Works Programme workers and pensioners using Post Bank have not been paid for two months at the Bizana Post office, in the Eastern Cape. Elderly people, mainly women, have been sleeping in queues for three nights.
“It’s a second day now, I have been sleeping here. I am not sure about my kids back home. When I left they had nothing to eat. I myself had to borrow money from neighbours, I really do not know what will happen. The situation is bad, we are dying here in the queue because we were not paid. We were told there is no money,” says Siyu.
DA Councillor at Winnie Madikizela Mandela Local Municipality, Bubele Mangqalaza has raised concerns about the situation at the post office. Meanwhile, the Post Office says the delays in payments are a result of criminal activities in the region.
