PENSIONERS MATTER !!!!!

Añadido: 2026-05-19

[00:00:01]A very, very, very good day. Happy Saturday to all our senior citizens, friends, family, um followers. We want to say it is not raining.

[00:00:14]So, guys, this might be a lengthy video, but I'm going to try and keep it as short as possible so that you can understand the gist of our movement and Pensioners of South Africa and why we started Pensioners of South Africa, okay?

[00:00:32]So, my name is Chef JC. Um I'm an activist for senior citizens um in South Africa. We started an NPO called Pensioners of South Africa, and we're also growing a movement for the Pensioners of South Africa.

[00:00:48]Now, in this process that we have done this, you know, firstly, I want to say thank you to each and everybody for the support, the loyalty, the advocating, and trusting us with this process to make lives better for this generation and the next one with the work that we are doing and about to do in advocacy for our senior citizens.

[00:01:11]Now, we've been approached, myself and the admin team, have been approached by a number of, you know, other organizations, and we've been asked a lot of questions from a lot of different organizations that also particularly has the interests of pensioners um at heart.

[00:01:37]Now, firstly, I want to say boldly, we do not market businesses.

[00:01:44]We do not market old age homes. We do not market um nursing care. We do not market um food things. We do not sell anything.

[00:02:00]We do not want money from senior citizens to put it in layman's terms for everybody, right?

[00:02:08]What we stand for is something totally differentiated to what a lot of people and groups posing to have the best interests of senior citizens at heart do. Why?

[00:02:22]We don't want anything from our senior citizens. We are not marketing things so that our senior citizens must go and spend their last money on whatever these other people are doing, right? We're not necessarily saying it could be a bad thing, but you should should also be aware that not every senior citizen in South Africa has a retirement annuity fund that they have saved for. Not every senior citizen in South Africa had the luxury of putting money away. Not every senior citizen does have rich families that they came from.

[00:03:03]And to give you a short story, not too long ago, I actually went for an interview at a I'm not going to mention the old age home's name. Very bougie place.

[00:03:17]Five-star kitchen, five-star dishes. And when I walked in there, the first thing that came to my mind is these are people with money.

[00:03:26]These are people, you know, that has families with money. So, we are advocating for people that has nothing.

[00:03:36]And we are advocating for people to get more.

[00:03:39]And we are advocating for senior citizens to not pay the necessary tariffs, the taxes, to not pay to go into an old age home, to not pay tax, to Do pay VAT, to not have all those unnecessary things attached to the little money that they already see receiving as a grant from government.

[00:04:02]So, be very careful.

[00:04:05]Yes, I'm not saying that we are expecting everybody's hearts to be the exact same as Posas. Of course, there's going to be people that is going to challenge us. Of course, there's going to be people that is going to say yes, this, that, and that, this, but we stand for something totally different.

[00:04:24]We are fighting on the ground. We have one administrator in the UK. We three on the ground here in South Africa. We are growing rapidly and we are growing for the right reasons. The reasons is to bring change.

[00:04:40]The reasons is not to take anything away from the senior citizens. It is to add to the senior citizens' lives so that they can live their last lives in dignity without paying anything for it because they have paid enough over the years with how they contributed to the economy, how they contributed to the infrastructure of this country. And why have they been forgotten?

[00:05:09]So, this is the differentiation between Posa and all the other organizations. And that is why people are standing with us because we stand for what people need.

[00:05:22]We stand for what people need in their lives now, not what could they take from people. What we can make change in their lives now for this generation and for the next generation.

[00:05:37]So, be very wary out there. All right, be very careful. There's a lot of people that play on the vulnerabilities of senior citizens to take from them. We want nothing from you. We want the best for you, but we want to get it for you by doing the things that we are doing in Poswa Pensioners of South Africa. My name is Chief Justice. I'm an advocate for the senior citizens in South Africa. Have a super good day. I hope this makes sense. Being an activist isn't easy, but it is such a blessing also at the same time.

[00:06:15]Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your support. Stay blessed. Stay kind.
