Seniors rally for respect
Vukani
|September 04, 2025
“Our seniors deserve to be treated with respect, integrity, and dignity,” says Pat Lee, echoing the call of hundreds of elderly residents who took to the streets this week.
More than 200 senior citizens marched from the Grand Parade to Parliament on Tuesday, August 26, demanding better service delivery from the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA). Their main concern: the difficulties and poor treatment they face when trying to access their state pensions.
Despite mobility challenges, many of the pensioners travelled by bus and train from across Cape Town — including Mitchells Plain, Bellville, Retreat, Grassy Park, Muizenberg, Delft, Parow Valley, Kleinvlei, Blue Downs, Strandfontein, Belhar, and Eerste River to make their voices heard.
