I'm one of the students who are using Nsfas and this thing of no food allowance is not fair on us,we are really struggling and it's impossible to study on an empty stomach.

Denying students food allowance is basically not allowing them to freely study, because you cannot study on an empty stomach.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-16)

#1432

I am signing because I am a second year NSFAS student and do not get any food allowance from NSFAS.Most NSFAS students come from under privileged backgrounds and cannot afford to buy food.A number of students go hungry on a daily basis and find it hard to study on an empty stomach.It would really change the lifestyle of students if we received food allowance and it would be easy to focus on our books.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-16)

#1434

I'm signing because i dont have financial support for food and I rely on NSFAS to fund my studies. Many with the same problem may not come foward but i believe I can make a difference. Having students go to classes on empty stomachs will not benefit UJ or the country. I REALLY NEED FOOD SUPPORT.

#1442

I'm signing this petition because i need assistance with food

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-17)

#1443

I'm signing because I believe that the reason these students apply for NSFAS is because they cannot afford to pay for their fees ,books and even food. So what is it that they are supposed to do if they do not get food allowance ,that is another struggle. Can UJ please think about this,most students end up doing things that are just against their moral beliefs and values,just so they can feed themselves and it is not right.

(Vereeniging, 2018-03-17)

#1473

Students who are using Nsfas have been fighting hunger and starvation in conduct whilst they are fighting their academics, the parents are not able to provide the full required monthly food packages as most are single unemployed parents, it would be good not only for the students of UJ but the whole country would benefit from the support of the students and this would uplift our whole continent in the near future

(Cape town, 2018-03-17)

#1511

I'm signing because everyone is entitled to having the right to learn and the right to have healthy food and water. Additionally, you'll find that management who is stealing these millions at UJ are white men who no one wants to prosecute.
