We as qualified Social workers, need to earn proper salary. Our start up salary its like a joke to other professionals! Most social workers neither do they qualify to buy reasonable house nor they own RDP houses. Furthermore, they are renting and they dont own any property!

Great work colleagues! Social Work continues to be an undermined profession whereas it is an important profession that a country can not function without. Please also highlight the need to acknowledge when a social worker studies further, the should be salary increment when a social worker obtains her/his Masters. A social worker with a degree can not be earning a same salary with a social worker who has a Masters degree. Thanks

Because social workers play such an important role in our communities, goverment needs to acknowledge that. And pay Social workers whats due to them.

Why did you sign this petition? it is because I am a
part of suffering unemployed social worker and due to the fact that I don't have a driver's license. I can't get employed as the last point says the department and varsities should have contracts with driving schools so that all students should have an opportunity before time.

Salaries of social workers are PATHETIC. No breadwinner can sustain a family on the small salary of a social worker.
