Dire financial straits

I went on maternity leave from the 24/04/2020, it's now the end of July and I still not have received any money. I am the breadwinner at home and have a newborn baby. How do I survive?? My car was almost repossessed, my clothing accounts are in arrears and living day to day not knowing where and how you going to get through the day without food etc is very frustrating. I understand that with the Covid pandemic there are alot of delays but this is ridiculous. I was told my company is at fault since they put in a Covid claim for employees and got paid out in May. This is now clashing with my maternity UIF claim and there is now a case being investigated. My problem is I do not even get feedback from the UIF regarding the progress of this and I live in a very remote place and the nearest office is 120 km away. I have tried calling numerous times but they never answer the phone and I cannot afford to drive there. Case no. ***
