The most frustrating 3 days…trying to get a routine check up and I decided to try out the insurance I paid for out of my own pocket. I have not had such a frustrating time…between the health care provider and the insurance provider…day1 just to get labs done, 1/2

Day 2, I resorted to paying cash to see the doctor. Day 3 to pick the meds and get vaccinated…Each time, I spent 1to 2 hours waiting to be seen, not provided the correct information, directed from here to there. Really very frustrating…

I was told that schools can drop children who they believe will not perform well. I had not believed it until it happened to a young girl I am supporting. We paid 600k to get a place, paid 2.3m per term for fees, and this doesn’t include other requirements. 1/2

At the end of S5, they tell her to look for another school. They offer another school where we have to pay another 600k off the books for her to get a place…plus 1.9M fees only. The huge challenge is that she cannot even go to S5 as it is a new curriculum. 2/3

Right now, she is at a risk of dropping out of school… How can a school collect over 7million and then just drop the student???

Getting ready for #WorldObesityDay tomorrow. Obesity rates have nearly tripled since 1975 and have increased almost five times in children and adolescents, affecting people of all ages from all social groups in both developed and developing countries. ⚠️ More than 2.5

A huge huge shout out to DFCU that has a more transparent approach to Forex transactions…thank you so much!!! ABSA on the other hand is consistently non transparent, including “kujerega” of the client. Shame!
