“I was cheerful that the reserve would pad the #LockdownSA #COVID19SA blow. I sent through totally required docs by your dept, I’m yet to get an affirmation of receipt from your dept. It torments me that on-screen characters such as myself have been disregarded or dismissed without conceivable clarification,” she said.
