(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

Alot of students go on without food the whole day because all students are not from the same backround and some are not as fortunate as others. It is necessary for a student to have food to be able to concentrate and progress throughtout the day.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#218

Im signing because i have seen my fellow colleagues sufferring due to this food scheme offered on campus. This food is often not enough to cover every student that depend on it.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#223

Students usually go to class without having breakfast since there is no food allowance for first years and second years.. Some even go to sleep on an empty stomach so food allowance is needed in order to incrase the pass rate

(Pretoria, 2018-03-15)

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

I am signing because I was also victimized by this system and even now I still go and queue those long queues which sometimes I do not even get the food. I am also one of those students whom come from a very disadvantaged family background, I do not get enough money to buy healthy food.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#227

Because i need food allowance due to being unable to afford

(johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#230

I believe every student should be fed. Some of us travel long distances to campus without eating in the morning due to time and spend all day in campus with no money for food. Most of my days I leave home at 6 am and come back 6 pm

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#231

Im signing because i believe that every student should have access of food wherever they are ..Some of us don't live on campus so we cannot wake up everyday for GoG which has long lines ..We come to school for learning not standing in long queues

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#232

My parents are unable to give me food allowance due to high family demand and low pension money from the government.

I'm signing because I feel that it's very wrong that every institution around south Africa gives student food allowance whilst we don't get it at all. We also are in need of it because we don't all have parents that can give us monthly allowance

(Johannes, 2018-03-15)

Having food to be able to concentrate is essential in a students academic journey.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#251

(Newcastle, 2018-03-15)

#252

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

I am signing this petition because some NSFAS students are not lucky to have people to give them food money therefore it is unfair that students go to class with an empty stomach while UJ executives utilize the NSFAS funds like they are in need meanwhile they just greedy.

(Tembisa, 2018-03-15)

#255

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#267

I'm signing this petition because I fell like I am l a victim what its happening regarding food allowance. I have classes in the afternoon and sometimes I am writing test so I cannot go and stand in the queue while my class is on.

(JOHANNESBURG, 2018-03-15)

#270

I am in support of the food allowance. There are students who really cannot afford meals and the GOG is not really effective as they only eat on specified times. When they arrive at red they are already hungry and they must study, so studies are really affected.

(Alberton, 2018-03-15)

#271

All NSFAS students deserve the food allowance.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#306

I'm a second year NSFAS student and this highly relates and affects me

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#307

I'm also a second year student. Being raised by a single parent who doesn't work and has to take care of me and my siblings. This would help me because I carry a lunch box not money so it will help sustain me.

(Johannesburg, soweto, 2018-03-15)

We can't study when we are hungry,we need food

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#320

I am a UJ student and this thing is a real issue.. Food is a basic human right, students shouldn't have to be reminded that they come from harsh families by having to struggle for food...

(Vereeniging, 2018-03-15)

#321

Because I am also a student at the University of Johannesburg and I am one of the many students that the management has denied the right to food and this is an issue that has been going on for years now and it is only through this revopitionary that it can be addressed

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#322

I am signing because I am in favour of the above statement, which assets that 1st and 2nd students education is being affected by the fact that they have to skip morning and afternoon classes, because they have to stand in a long queue for an unhealthy food.

UJ management must consider this request from the student, because it is students who knows what affect them daily in the campus. If the University is concerned about their students they will probably consider this statement, if they are concerned about stealing money from the varsity they will ignore this.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#323

I've been hungry around campus and craving other students' lunch meals

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#324

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#329

Am a nafas student and lack finance to buy food

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#331

I'm signing because I'm also a 2nd year UJ funded by NSFAS and the situation affects me just as it does to the next person

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#332

We as students don't come from same backgrounds. All students applying for NSFAS need food allowances
Plus, students should get Accomodation. I faced problems on my first year last year, I don't want to see other students suffer, it is not nice.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#333

I agree to the petition the ques are really long and it is mostly time consuming .i am always forces to skip my classes to go get food from the GOG

(Mpumalanga, 2018-03-15)

#354

Why doesn't UJ NSFAS give us food money like other institutions? Its only UJ that doesn't give us food money? Wits fees are the most expensive yet their NSFAS Students are given food money. We are poor students, where do they think we get money from? Mxm

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#366

Because I agree with what's being said , other students are suffering n rely on nsfas so if they won't get food allowances they gonna struggle to concetrate in class and that can results in them dropping in their academics

(Tshepisong, 2018-03-15)

#367

We are students who come from poor background and our families cannot afford to give us money for food and therefore we request NSFAS to give food allowances to students instead of GOG which clashes with our classes.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#368

I am a first year student and I’m really suffering when it comes to food, I only get food from the GOG in Thursday’s because they give out food at 15:00 and by that time I’m in class most of the time. I would like NSFAS to provide with food allowance card.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

(Kwamhlanga, 2018-03-15)

#386

I'm signing this because I'm one of those who stand in the long queues for food. Sometimes I don't even eat because I have classes the whole day. I can't bunk classes and go stand in the long queue for food. This thing really affects our academics. Sometimes I get hungry while I'm studying during the night and I have nothing to eat because GOG is closed.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)

#387

I'm signing this petition because I know how difficult it is to attend lectures on a hungry stomach or skip classes to go and fight to get food at GOG.
