Friendly Blessings Received and Returned—Group 2

Many of us are used to seeing people wearing high-visibility jackets patrolling parking lots near our favourite shops, but few realise what these families go through. Yes, families—because for many, the sole breadwinner works 10 to 15 hours a day, hoping for a few coins from shoppers to support their families. What you don’t know is that they pay to stand there—yes, R50 to R100 each day—plus the transport costs to get there (around R75 daily). For most of these individuals, they might take home only R20 (if lucky) each day. How can anyone support a family on that?
