At my Age - Episode 5

At my Age is a show that aims to provide intervention for elderly people faced with a plight they can’t resolve because of age.
Gogo Anna Yende was involved in a car accident that left her unable to work. Although all her RAF pay out went towards medical expenses, she was relieved when she received a disability grant. To her shock, the grant abruptly ended and she found herself destitute left with orphaned grandchildren. Her only remaining child is sickly and is in hospital. Under the circumstance Gogo Yende finds herself begging for assistance from her neighbours because the little income she has fails to cover the needs. At my age arranged for Gogo Yende to seek answers from SASSA to seek answers.
Watch At my Age on SABC 2 every Tuesday at 11h00

My heart broke when she cried. I have a soft spot for the elderly. Definitely going to start an NGO to help the elderly one day 🥺 God willing

[@kaisilebeta5134]

Exactly how I felt, I will be joining in the elders NGO

[@nc2604]

May God bless your vision 🙏🏾

[@TM-mi3wi]

Our grannies carry so much secrets, pain, trauma, and hurt. I can't imagine being a parent and watching all your kids die. This woman has been through a lot. May God truly bless and heal her and heal her child 💔

[@witnessramatsetseramatsets3671]

that part is so painful shame i lost two children

[@bongzb6800]

I can't stop crying. Some people have never had a chance to happiness, peace nor love in life. Here i was thinking my life is not making sense but watching this, makes me severely hurt. Only once in my life I've had an experience of being touched by GOD to give to a family that really needed help. I pray that I may be available, answer that call to help those who need food always.

[@daphneyhengstberger4018]

Bongi Mtshali u said something that has opened my eyes, is true u think that your life is full of pain and hurt. Listening to her has just made me realize that my life is good.

[@simplygugu]

[@tshireletsothabangmorule8670]

Guys please let's pray for her and other people in the same situation

[@mrsimm9870]

Biggest problem of believers is wanting to pray where a solution is required

[@cleombangi3081]

[@royalhighness2431]

[@tsweloramatsetse3730]

badla imali kaGogo lezinja!! There is no such thing as she was too hurt and her medical costs were too high...

[@rubylane9867]

Yes Gogo needs to engage legal aid intervention to represent her claim for RAF compensation. I wish someone can direct her for referral to appropriate professionals. May God touch a team of lawyers to help her. angel

[@joycezitha5263]

I even cry feel very sad for maGogo ..khona makethi uNkulunkulu zehla ..tnx Mrs Phawu,Sassa man who promised her Food parcel ...May God bless you all

[@phindafosi872]

This is very sad. Its paining which m so mix-up m also going through that situation. my parents both passed car accidents even today we never get road accidents money for more than ten years .every time I go check the claim to the office they said they still working on it. last year my home burn we loose everything me and my siblings we never get any help .I went the to social workers to get assistance they give us grocer only, after they also failed us. After death of our parents our aunt applied Forster care grant for us .we only get the money for one month next following month our aunt said she was robbed the money after she never give us the money more than 3 month life was so hard for us . Then we decide to go and report her social worker we never get help even today till we pass the age of getting the money . The situation is very bad for us.

Omg, I’m hurting so much. God help her, I’m praying for u my grandmother.

[@rubylane9867]

Media and Cameras help as people are in their best behaviour when they are recorded. They provide excellent service. Up the media nilungisa izinto. I think now they need involvement from the start of any application to prevent delays in providing services.

[@makhafolaitumeleng7713]

Gogo must get 100 million for her RAF this is way too painful 😢

[@sjrampengsjhancee7779]

Aww uGogo bandla! siyabonga konke kumhambele kahle umtomdala

[@Khumzwi]

Where are the political parties? Who's the counselor in her municipality and why the hell is the system not compensating her - knowing that she's unfit to work? Black people stay struggling - stay being enslaved (mentally and otherwise). God, please answer this gogo's plight, please let those in govt who are useless lose their jobs and bring the right individuals who are empathetic, helpful and want to do right by our people. I can't believe this is still happening!

[@LorraineSekhita]

[@carloslouw4498]

RAF should give her money, its not fair !!!

[@Shikambaelliott]

Crc this is painful RAF must pay gogo

[@hillis8380]

That's the procedure most of my chronic clients I have put them on disability grant it depends how one explained the clients condition but some doctors are lazy to write .even PHC nurses are allowed to apply as I'm myself PHC clinician, and the reason for reevaluation by sassa doctors to avoid fraud but not all cases are checked by sassa doctors

[@shashangam2757]

SASSA THUMBS up 😀😀

[@sibongilesonqayi2081]

Why did she get a temporary grant? It’s clear uGogo akasoze aphinde akwazi usebenza and she needs the support.

[@sandilemsipa117]

This is really a classic case of having izidalwa or spiritual guides blocked, they are supposed to protect you and fight for you. Really without abakini noMdali you are vulnerable to anything and everything that may befall you

[@veronicamakhafula6389]

I really hope that Gogo got her money.
