Old age home investigation needed urgently

I refer to my contacting *** on August 14,2025 requesting an investigation into the afm old age home in Kuis River in which I have been a resident for the past few years and what we as residents experience on a daily basis and that nothing,no matter who we approach,has changed.

On August 18 I received an email from the Devi show journalist who worked on the Serenity Haven Frail Care Centre who needed more concrete evidence from family members of residents that they can get in touch with and current/former care workers. On August 18 and in early September I emailed him as much information as I could of all past emails I had sent to the AFM Welfare head office,to pastors of the church and the social worker and to hellopeter.com, with the hope that all this information would somehow prove of the steps taken that the home should be investigated. I explained in the email that I could not provide any current/former carers names or contact details as these are the people who were threatened by the manager and the "H R" office who was the managers daughter that they must not divulge any information to the residents about what happens in the home. My response was the same about family members of residents as I do not know or have spoken to anyone. I also mentioned that after the previous "manager" Mrs Maxie Herbst retired at the end of March this year she had a lot to do in having her daughter who has absolutely no management experience,given the position as manager although we were informed that this was temporary. I suspect that the pastor who slammed the phone down in my ear when I tried to explain the reason when and why I went to see my attorney and told me in no uncertain terms that they too have attorneys,has much to do with the daughters position as manager. The social worker who is also a pastor has been informed of all the problems regarding the "food" the residents are served and how unhappy they are,the leaking roofs where plastic bags must be thrown over beds to stop it getting wet,donations from Woolworths and other church donors etc and how trolleys of vegetables,boxes of chicken and rolls of bacon are brought in by the kichen manager and a week later these same go out to the kitchen managers car. This has never happened in all the years and when staff members shake their heads in disbelief one knows that there is an investigation required because the reasons given by the previous manager and the kitchen managers about "new suppliers" and the social worker is informed but no feedback the suspicion grows stronger.

The thousands of rands of s**** removed by the managers husband and questions asked where and who got the money. I have now decides to once again approach hellopeter.com and hope that this might show,once again,that we do need an investigation because to approach Department of Social Development would be a waste of time as I have written to them in the past about many problems but this was always referred back to the manager and a "cover-up" would take place and I would be threatened by the manager that she would inform the board about my stay in the home. All of what I have written must be investigated asap.
