Seeing that the government social grant is intended to assist those who struggle to financially support themselves, it’s alarming and a crime when someone close to them steals their money.

To end the injustice, the victims write to brand-new intervention series Umndende, and together with host and actor Thabiso Mokhethi (Samuel Khumalo in Generations – The Legacy, see p21), they confront the abusers. “In most cases, the abusers intercept the grant for scrupulous means such as partying or paying a loanshark – anything but caring for the person that the grant belongs to and is meant to help,” explains Thabiso.
