TESTIMONY_GIVER:
 The request that I would like to put to the Commission is that I do not have any parents and I am the eldest at home.  My mother passed away and left me with her children as well as my two.  So there are six children altogether and there is no source of income.  I am the only one that tries to make an income by selling nick-Nicknacks and fish at school and sometimes I get epileptic fits while doing that and people would just loot my goods and there would be no money after that.  When the weather is like this I am fine but when it is hot I get sick.  So the children are still at school and they are still young and I would like assistance as far as they are concerned.  My mother's children as well as my own because my own children are still very young.  I would like to be helped with the children because I will never be able to do anything because even at work, I was a machinist, but I can't do it any more because I get hot very quickly and I would like the Commission to try and arrange for me to receive a grant.  I had applied for one previously at Frere hospital but my application was denied and I wanted to know why because I am still receiving treatment.  I receive treatment every month.  Every month I receive treatment and the doctor also confirms that I will not be able to survive without it.  I receive treatment at the day hospital and sometimes I am admitted to Frere hospital.
