The food serving times contradicts with my classes in the morning and afternoon, so I never get a chance to receive food even though I'm "fully funded" by NSFAS I still don't get food allowance, instead I sacrifice and make means for my daily meals so that I can continue studying.

I don't have food allowance and I sympathise with those who are in my situation, because It's very hard to study with hunger

I feel it is unfair that food allowance is only for a selected few. Im in my 4th and final year now and I know what it is like to go hungry while at varsity without any money for food. I dont want the ones following me to suffer under the same fate.

I'm also part of the first years who are not receiving food allowance. It's very hard to focus when you know there is nothing on the table to eat.
