Dear Editor,
Pensioners waited from 6 am to 2.30 pm at Blairmont Post Office recently, then they saw the white van arrive with the money to pay the frustrated pensioners.
Old people were in the sun and rain waiting for their few cents to buy food to eat. Hungry and thirsty, one old women fainted. The post office needs a shed outside where pensioners can shelter when the need arises.
I am calling on the authorities to see that the money to pay pensioners is in the post office at Blairmont overnight. This is not the first time it has happened; it is a habitual practice for money not to be there to pay the poor people at the end of the month. It always comes late, and one has to wait for hours in the hot sun.
Yours faithfully,
(Name and address provided)
