(Pretoria, 2018-03-05)

#1854

I have been unemployed for over a year now. Been struggling to find a job, but the need in the police and especially schools are extremely high for an on site social worker. No regard is given to the amount of work put in by social workers. The needs of the vulnerable increases by the day, but support and guidance is lacking from our social services agencies due to their unimaginable amount of work. I have been volunteering at our local police station and one of the schools in my community. I can see the need. But nothing is done to address the issues. How many children and vulnerable people's lives are going to be put in danger ?
