I am unemployed at the moment and am the sole breadwinner in the household. I owe SARS money but due to financial constraints, money is extremely tight. I see SARS has debited my account with money R6500 owing to them which has crippled me financially that I can't buy food for my family. I will pay them when I employed but has just added extra financial burden.

It would be best to call SARS on 0800 007 277 and discuss your situation with them. Hopefully, they can put together a suitable payment plan for you.
