Hi,I’m a 39yr old single mum my husband passed on in 2011. I recently lost my job in July because my work permit had expired. I’m a Zimbabwean and i was working in South Africa. I applied for another work permit last year in April and I’m still waiting for it to be processed.
Losing my job has made life very difficult for me and my two kids. I’m struggling to put food on the table and pay rent. To make matters worse my son is going to high school next year he needs uniforms and fees. At the moment I’m unemployed and efforts I madeĀ in finding another job are all in vain. It’s not easy to find a job without a work permit in South Africa. I have resorted to selling fresh chips and russian sausages but I don’t make much since people don’t have money, SA’s economy is fast deteriorating. Going back to my home country- Zimbabwe is just not an option because there are no jobs there and the unemployment rate is 80% as a result most graduates are just sitting at home.
I need help with my son’s education who is going to high school next year. Any kind of assistance or any amount of money will be very much appreciated.
