Looking for a pro bono consumer-debt lawyer in Gauteng for a case with a deadline in October.

I'm facing a benefits termination I'm appealing, with a hearing on October. I earn too much to qualify for legal aid on paper, but not nearly enough to pay a lawyer's retainer.
I'm looking for a qualified consumer-debt lawyer licensed in Gauteng who might be able to review my documents, prepare me for the hearing, or take the case pro bono or on a reduced fee.
I've organized my documents chronologically, and I'll share them with the lawyer who agrees to help. I can travel to your office in Johannesburg or meet online.
I understand that the time of a lawyer is valuable, and I'm deeply grateful for any help or for suggestions of organizations that could assist.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Willem. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Rooting for you, Willem. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Oakland.
