I have paid tax all my life

I would like to know why a person (me) who has worked all my life, I worked as a casual worker for cuberts shoes from standard 7, then continued to work at Sandton city for Barnes shoes for a year after school, I then worked for Toyota SA for 3 years before joining Multichoice Dstv for more than 20 years. When I was retrenched I attended SAIW and obtained a welding and fabrication inspection certification. I now cannot find work and no matter how much I have tried did not receive a cent from cyril ramaphosa, s government after paying tax all my life. Why.... Maybe cyril can try all his help lines and tell me why
