For more than a year, a 49-year old woman from Onderstepoort near Pretoria, has been struggling to get her life back.
In December 2017, Renthia van Rensburg realised there was a problem when her bank account and pension payments were frozen. This was after she resigned as a teacher to take up the full-time responsibility of looking after her disabled son.The bank told her the account had been frozen because the Department of Home Affairs informed them that she had been declared dead.
"I went to home affairs to try and establish what the problem was. I was then told that I was declared dead on August 25, 2017. I got such a fright that I fainted," she said.
