AdvBMkhwebane Poor independent pensioners disparately trying not to be a burden to the State and State Coffers. These increases are besides medical aid, home, insurances, home maintenance, fuel and car maintenance, food, levies, safety & home security costs, increased tax burden 😢

AdvBMkhwebane and salaries remain the same huh

In essence it a total of approx 23% that will hit hard on workers salary of 3% last year. Workers will remain poor in thus burgeoiese state/capitalist. They are breaking this down so that it doesn't come across too much. Kudlaliwe ngathi stru

As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of Allison_Grillo.

Hahahahahahha.... We warned them about DA. That's it. Let's go.

I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.
