I'm signing because I'm concerned that my fellow students dont receive food allowance, the only thing that they recieve is the unhealthy food on specialised times of which is not enough to get a person going for the whole day.

(Polokwane, 2018-03-15)

#798

I stand for what i believe is right, and giving NSFAS students a food allowance is a sensible thing to do in order to combat this issue. A lot of my fellow students/friends are facing this issue and i feel the need to speak up for them because i have seen the hardships that they go through in order to get food. This challenge is not only affecting their wellbeing, but also their ability to learn and maintain their financial stability in their own personal lives. This is an issue we can no longer ignore or sweep under the Carpet because it is real and its happening.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-15)
