01 and 02 were helping each other with this module.
01 complains about the standard of living.
01 has not applied for pension as she is earning more at present. 04 has gone back to her biological parents and 01 has no knowledge of her birthdate etc. She stays in this house because her grand mother is better off than her parents. Because
01 have the thinking that she is going to be helped by anything because she expalins all the problems
01 is helped by 03 in financial matters.
01 is not Co-operative
01 take time to answer our questions
01 was drunk when answering and kept on repeating himself
01 was helping because 02 seems to be a little bit disturbed on her mind
01 was on the way out when we arrived. He wanted to finish to go for beers. 02,03,04 have moved out permanently so there is no Younger Adult Modules for them
02 is very sick, she can't stand and walk.
03 has mental issues
03 moved to Gauteng. Reliable information
04 is mentally disabled after birth injury
05 is in Johennesburg for schooling, she comes home only on holidays
05 lives at nursing home and will only visit from time to time until his training is complete. That is why he does not have a YA module

09 was abondoned by her mother and was taken in by 02
1 cannot speak at all & 3 is the translator
1 did not feel comfortabe to tell to much, or to be serious. The state of the house will not say they are poor
