PRESIDENTIAL HOTLINE DEFUNCT

AFTER EXHAUSTING EVERY AVENUE TO ASSIST SOMEONE IN SECURING THEIR COVID-19 GRANT, I RESORTED TO PHONING THE PRESIDENTIAL HOTLINE. (WHAT A WASTE OF TIME.) THE MAN WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE LISTED TO WHAT I HAD TO SAY, THEN TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO THE SASSA OFFICE (THE VERY OFFICE THAT TOLD ME THEY DO NOT DEAL WITH COVID-19) AND PHONE THE HOTLINE (THE ONE I TOLD HIM IS COMPLETELY DEFUNCT.) HE THEN TERMINATED THE CALL.

I HAVE A DEGREE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND WOULD LOVE TO HELP MY FELLOW SOUTH AFRICANS, BUT THOSE WHO CURRENTLY OCCUPY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS CLEARLY HAVE NO CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE WHOM THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO SERVE!
