Ms Mpofu is again pointing to an everyday nuts-and-bolts issue. I fully agree with her on the work permit issue. Fantastically qualified people living in our communities could be working and alleviating a lot of the challenges. As for the experience of a new mother, I have come across similar situations. The question of what to do, without being able to make decisions, use your discretion or look for a visitor to assist you, as well as the idea that Tusla can be weaponised against you, is dreadful. There needs to be some decisive cutting-through of that.
