Pension Payout Problems

Pension Payout Problems

WHAT on earth is happening to the pensions? I’m writing to enquire about my mother’s pension.

She applied for her pension in 2000 and I’ve watched her leave the house for the GIPF office each week only to be told to come back the following week. This has drained my mother not only of her last cents, but also her patience.I’m married and I have a family to support and I don’t earn enough to cater for the schoolgoing children, my mother has in her care.I have been told someone is purposely sitting on her pension, I don’t know how one could be so cruel to such an old woman.I believe these people working at the GIPF are merely lazy people.People are suffering while you get paid for not doing your job.Monica Teya Shilongo OshakatiThis has drained my mother not only of her last cents, but also her patience.I’m married and I have a family to support and I don’t earn enough to cater for the schoolgoing children, my mother has in her care.I have been told someone is purposely sitting on her pension, I don’t know how one could be so cruel to such an old woman.I believe these people working at the GIPF are merely lazy people.People are suffering while you get paid for not doing your job.Monica Teya Shilongo Oshakati
