Cape Town - The widow of a police officer and her children are facing eviction from their Paarl home because they are four months behind with rent.
Alvina Abrahams said her husband, warrant officer David J Abrahams, 54, who was working for the Rapid Rail Police in Bellville died of Covid-19 complications in September last year, and for the past eight months, she has been waiting for her husbandâs pension payout.
âHe worked for 21 years in the police and was our main breadwinner. I have been going up and down following up with both the police and Government Employee Pension Fund (GEPF) but with no luck. We will be kicked out of our home by the landlord if we do not pay rent again this month.â
