Verlede Donderdagoggend, \u2019n dag en \u2019n half nadat sy uit die Netcare Kuilsrivier-hospitaal ontslaan is, was Johanna Gryzenhout (61) nog nie seker of haar Sassa-toelae wel inbetaal is nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gryzenhout, wat \u2019n ongeskiktheidstoelae van die Suid-Afrikaanse Agentskap vir Maatskaplike Sekerheid (Sassa) ontvang, is een van duisende wat van vroeg vandeesmaand onsuksesvol probeer het om toegang tot hul geld te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het weer en weer probeer \u2013 totdat sy op Dinsdag 12 September met \u2019n hartaanval in die hospitaal opgeneem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Hele paar outomatiese teller-strokies van probeerslae wat lees: \u2018die transaksie is geweier, kontak jou bank\u2019, asook Shoprite-strokies wat wys daar is net R12 op haar kaart, getuig van die gesukkel. Die mense by die winkel het vir haar ges\u00ea sy moet haar geld by die poskantoor gaan trek. Sy is elke dag soontoe, vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy staan daar buite in die ry vir sewe, agt ure. Ek het al nege operasies in die een been gehad, ek kan nie so lank staan nie. Daar is nie sitplek nie, net vier stoele as jy naby (die toonbank) kom. So, jy sit op die sypaadjie of probeer maar staan en vasbyt. Boonop was dit re\u00ebnerig en yskoud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daardie Dinsdag het sy weer in die Sassa-tou gestaan toe sy begin voel het daar\u2019s fout. \u201cMy dokter (se spreekkamer) is naby die biblioteek. Ek het van die poskantoor tot daar geloop. Hulle het my dadelik ingevat. Die dokter het \u2019n EKG gedoen, toe s\u00ea sy \u2018jou hartklop is baie stadig, ek dink jy is besig om \u2019n hartaanval te kry\u2019.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die dokter se sekretaresse het met haar hospitaal toe gejaag terwyl die dokter solank laat weet het hulle is op pad. \u201cToe ons daar kom toe staan hulle reg vir my.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is bloukolle op haar arms weens \u2019n gesukkel om bloed te trek. Sy beduie na haar voet waar die naald uiteindelik moes in. \u201cDaai was nou seer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omdat sy meer as 10 jaar gelede \u2019n dubbele hartaanval gehad het en twee stente en ballonnetjies in van haar are het, was die dokters bekommerd dat daar dalk iets platgeval het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is alles darem orraait, maar die are op en om die hart het seergekry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na \u2019n week in die hospitaal is sy ontslaan met \u2019n lang lys pille wat sy daagliks moet neem om die skade ongedaan te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy weet die mense wat daardie Dinsdag in die tou bly staan het, het ook nie toe hul geld gekry nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSassa is \u2019n pyn elke maand,\u201d s\u00ea Gryzenhout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy kom al 07:00 by die poskantoor, dan staan hierdie lang rye. Dan loop die ou (\u2019n werknemer) daar (langs die ry) af en kondig af: \u2018daar is nie geld om julle uit te betaal nie, maar as jul wil check<\/em> of jul geld reverse<\/em> is, dan kan julle maar verder in die lyn staan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cElke dag gaan jy maar en staan in die lyn en dan het hulle nie geld nie. Hulle s\u00ea hulle kry net \u2019n sekere bedrag (kontant) om mense uit te betaal. So, s\u00ea maar 14 mense kan betaal word en die res nie, want hulle het nie meer (kontant) nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die hartseer breek deur in Gryzenhout se stem toe sy vertel van die bejaardes wat sy in die tou gesien het. \u201cEk raak ook oud, maar daar was tannies wat so (oorgebuk) geloop het \u2013 baie ouer as ek, 80 of 85, wat in die lyn moet staan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNiemand s\u00ea hulle kan maar vorentoe gaan nie. Nee, hulle moet staan of op die sypaadjie sit. Dit het my baie hartseer gemaak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het nege operasies op die been gehad, wat effens korter is as die ander een. Ek het net een kruk. As jy moeg en seer raak, gaan sit jy maar op die sypaadjie \u2013 nou praat jy van ses, sewe ure. Ek is op chroniese hartmedikasie; ek is \u2019n diabeet, ek het nie iets gehad om te eet of te drink nie. Jy kan nie uit die ry gaan nie, dan verloor jy jou plek. Jy kom 14:00, 15:00 van daar af. Elke dag s\u00ea hulle \u2018die geld is nie daar nie, kom weer m\u00f4re.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy twyfel nie dat al die stres bygedra het tot die hartaanval nie, en raak sommer vies toe sy vertel van die video wat sy aanlyn gesien het van \u2019n spreker van Postbank wat ges\u00ea het al die begunstigdes het hul geld ontvang. Sy is ook nie oortuig dat die probleem net aan \u2019n glitch<\/em> in die sisteem toegeskryf kan word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Om van \u201cSassa tot Sassa\u201d te leef is nie maklik nie, s\u00ea Gryzenhout. \u201cJy koop krag en \u2019n bietjie kos; die geld is baie min.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Oktober word die toelae met R10 verhoog. \u201cDis \u2019n skande. Jy kan nie eens \u2019n brood daarmee koop nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Haar Sassa-toelae moet ook help om huur en die bybetalings vir chroniese medikasie wat haar mediese fonds nie dek nie, te betaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gryzenhout ken die vrou in wie se erf sy \u2019n dak oor haar kop gekry het al \u2019n geruime tyd en is dankbaar vir elke bietjie genade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy het \u2019n paar jaar gelede van Gauteng Kaap toe gekom en in Mitchell\u2019s Plain gewoon voor sy Kuilsrivier toe getrek het. Haar verhuurder het vir haar \u2019n plekkie in hul erf laat inrig en selfs vir haar trek betaal. Haar vorige verhuurder het haar op \u2019n keer met die vuis bygedam, vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Toe sy nie haar toelae kon kry nie, het sy haar huidige verhuurder gevra om haar asseblief nie uit te sit nie. Die vrou het haar gerus gestel dat dit nie sal gebeur nie en ook vir haar krag gekoop, vertel Gryzenhout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk wil graag huur betaal (want) die vrou het my klaar \u2019n guns bewys deur die plekkie vir my op te sit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoewel sy Donderdag nog nie sterk genoeg gevoel het om te gaan kyk of haar Sassa-geld nou inbetaal is nie, was sy dankbaar dat die hospitaal vir haar \u2019n loopraam (met \u2019n sitplek wat kan uitvou) gere\u00ebl het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk is nog seer, so nou loop ek stadiger as \u2019n skilpad. Hulle het dit gegee sodat ek daaraan kan vashou en kan gaan sit as ek nie meer kan staan nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Verlede Donderdagoggend, \u2019n dag en \u2019n
