Die 2023-begroting raak die lewe van verskillende mense op verskillende maniere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek dink in besonder aan ons senior burgers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLuister asseblief na die begroting en laat my weet hoeveel verhoging ons op ons pensioene gaan kry, want die krag by ons is af,\u201d het \u2019n tannie gevra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 die begrotingsrede laat weet ek haar \u201cR20\u201d. Nodeloos om te s\u00ea hoe en wat haar reaksie was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is dit wat ons senior burgers werd is? Kinders kry nie eens R20 meer nie, maar R50 en meer. Is dit waarvoor ons oupas, oumas, ma\u2019s en pa\u2019s hulle afgesloof het? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek wonder hoe oudpresident Nelson Mandela sou gevoel het \u2013 daar waar hy op die bruin R20-noot pryk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lewenskoste is astronomies. Geen wonder \u2019n ander senior burger het opgemerk: \u201cToe ek jonk was, kon ons die kruideniersware in sakke pak en die geld in ons beursies. Nou moet ons die geld in die sakke pak en die min kruideniersware in ons beursies.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toenemend is daar \u2019n klop aan die deur vir \u2019n stukkie brood. Ons moet weer gaan lees wat Mattheus 25 vers 21-46 s\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is skrikwekkend dat ons senior burgers met \u2019n verhoging van R20 moet klaarkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
