BACKGROUND: Susan le Grange from Nelspruit has been looking for a stable job for more than two years. She turned 60 and her employer asked her to take pension. Despite being officially unemployed, she and her 32-year-old son, JP, have both been doing odd-jobs and baking when and wherever they can. Susan has sent her CV to several places, without any response. “I think it’s just because people think I’m too old.” Her son has also not been able to find any stable employment. They have lived in a rented flat for many years and due to informal work like cleaning drying up during lockdown, they have fallen behind on their rent of R3,830 a month. Susan says she paid towards rent as much as she could, but they are R19,500 behind and have been asked to vacate the flat by the end of the month. Susan is devastated as the landlord will claim all their belongings for the outstanding rent. The landlord has also said that, even if they pay up, they should rather move as they are deemed to be squatters. With no other option left to prevent herself and her son from being homeless, penniless and without any household goods, Susan turned to Good Morning Angels.
