Susan
received a $465 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my children. They used to be sent home each and every time because of school fee arrears. The remaining part of the money I used to buy lots of food so that I would have stock. It was during a period of drought so that is why I stocked food in the house."
