We are really battling financially. Live on R5.500. 00 a month but expenses are R8.500. 00 a month. Pensioners in South Africa. Pension from Zimbabwe dried up 2001 due to their economic meltdown which started in 2001. No luxuries, and a real struggle. We can't afford to even visit friends who live about 10 kms away as the price of gas has increased by more than 242% since the ANC took over in 1994. My husband's chronic medications cost R645,00 a month. There is a municipal clinic which is supposed to supply free medicines to pensioners BUT every month, they run out of his life-saving medication and so i have to obtain a prescription from a pvt dr. who charges R380.00 for his services and then I go to a pharmacy and purchase anything he requires. Power, water, municipal taxes + R2800. 00 a month. Food prices more than doubled since Jan 2014. We are blessed to own 4 acres of prime land and we are desperate to sell. But we can't give it away as we need to invest so that we can obtain much needed "pension" every month and then we also need to buy a smaller home on a smaller property as there are NO affordable retirement homes either. Please pray for the URGENT sale of our property in the next month to a developer who would then build apartments either for sale or rental on this piece of land. I would appreciate your deep prayers. Thank You in Jesus' Precious Name.
