Woman and five children seek help in Ezinambeni Extension 16 Marikana

Prudence had a rude awakening when she realised the house she stays in belongs to someone else.

Prudence Msiza from Ezinambeni Extension 16 Marikana seeks help in getting her and her siblings a warm home.

Prudence lives with five children in a house that she thought was owned by her parents, only to find out that her parents were renting it and now she’s got no one to ask or get answers from.

Her mother passed away in 2013, and the owner of the house now wants it back.

Prudence is unemployed and lives in sorrow as she struggles to maintain the children’s essential needs such as housing due to her financial constraints.

She says she took this matter to the social workers and they gave her a letter stating that she must go to the Department of Housing at the municipality.

The letter confirmed that Prudence is a client of the Department of Social Development; she is raising three young siblings and two children of her own, and she only receives grant support for her youngest sibling.

Prudence says she would be happy if she can get some help because her living conditions are stressing her and she won’t survive being homeless with five children.
