One day Zwelakhe Radebe was walking in the street. A motor car suddenly knocked him down, and killed him. The police told his wife about the accident. Mrs Radebe was very sad. And she was worried. She had no money to pay rent, and no money to buy food for her children.
Mrs Radebe asked her friend Mrs Tjeba to help her. Mrs Tjeba told Mrs Radebe to go and see a lawyer. Mrs Tjeba told her the name and address of a good lawyer.
NO MONEY
Mrs Radebe went to see the lawyer. She told the lawyer that her husband died in a motor car accident. She told the lawyer that she had no money.
This is what the lawver told Mrs Radebe: “If somebody is killed by a motor car, the person’s family can get money from Third Party Insurance. All motor cars have Third Party Insurance. All drivers must get Third Party Insurance for their cars. Third Party Insurance pays if they hurt or kill somebody.
HIT AND RUN
The lawyer said to Mrs Radebe: “Perhaps the Third Party Insurance will pay you some money. I will try to get money for you”.
If someone is killed, then the person’s family can claim money’.
Mrs Radebe said: “1 do not have any money to pay you, Mr Lawyer.” The lawyer said:”You don’t have to pay me. The insurance company will pay me”. Mrs Radebe told the lawyer her name and address and answered all his questions.
Mrs Radebe said: ” I do not know the number of the car that knocked my husband down. It was a hit-and-run accident.”
The lawyer said: “That does not matter. “There is a special fund that pays people when there is a hit-and-run accident. I can get money from that fund for you.”
FOOD AND RENT
Then Mrs Radebe went home. She had no money for many months. Her aunt gave her money to buy food and pay the rent.
BUILDING SOCIETY
After many months the lawyer got money from the insurance company. He gave the money to Mrs Radebe. He said to her: “Take the money to a building society. A building society is a place like a bank. Here’s the name and address of a building society.
CHILDREN’S EDUCATION
Mrs Radebe put the money into the building society. Every month Mrs Radebe takes some money out of the building society. Now she has enough money to pay for rent and food. She can also pay for her children’s education.
