I can't compete academically with the previously advantaged group on an empty stomach. Knowing I will be able to feed myself without further impoverishing my father will put my mind at ease.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-19)

#1607

Many students suffer academically because they don't have money to purchase their own groceries instead they really on GOG which is not enough.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-19)

#1608

I'm signing because I'm coming from poor background where I am unable to buy food to maintain myself the whole month and in order to survive I have to always rely on gog food where as sometimes they give food while I have classes thus making me to not attend some classes and eventually put pressure on my studies

#1622

I fully agree with the statements above and that we as nsfas students at UJ should receive food allowance. The University of Johanessburg should know that we do not get hungry only on our final year

#1639

I want uj to stop this thing of exploiting need students by wanting us to prove that we poor how many times must we coz even on NSFAS we have already proven that.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-19)

#1640

I'm signing this because I'm one of c the first year students who comes from a very disadvantaged background. Where I'm raised by a Single Parent (My Mom). She's currently unemployed and by that, she cannot afford to buy me grocery every month.

#1656

U signing because first and second year students don't receive food allowance from NSFAS

(JOHANNESBURG, 2018-03-20)

#1658

I'm signing because it is unfair that NSFAS give only the fourth years food allowance. We all get hungry and since we use NSFAS that means we don't have people or family members who support us financially, we are depending on NSFAS. They give us money to go and study to University and don't give us money for food. We can not study on an empty stomach. UJ NSFAS is oppressing us.

(Gauteng, 2018-03-20)

#1659

Uj first and second years aren't given a food allowance they have to go to the feeding scheme which makes students look desperate and they have to stand in long lines

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-20)

#1660

I care for my little sisters and brothers, and they are also entitled to food allowance. Thus this must be deemed to ensure equity rather than discriminating them for the year they are doing.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-20)

#1676

I'm signing because I'm a 3rd year student who has been queuing at Gift of the Givers for the past 2years only not to get food sometimes, one has to stand there even when its raining and trust me being treated as a beggar is not nice having to be forced to go on Campus even on weekends just because you need that one take away. NSFAS is a loan that we are going to pay so I don't understand why we are not given money for food.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-20)

#1677

I'm signing because I'm also a victim and i find it hard to go through the day without having anything to eat whereas i have late afternoon classes and morning classes at the same time.

#1678

Food allowance can be utilized to buy other necessities for those in need.
We have identified that a number of female students are in need of sanitary towels amongst other basics that sometimes prevent them from attending their lectures.
Gift of the Givers is efficient however some students who are studying BEng are forced to bunk classes in order to get meals

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-26)

#1787

(johannesburg, 2018-03-27)

#1789

Its unfair to think that the food dispensed at GoG is enough to sustain students, it is embarassing to cue for handouts,at 3 in the afternoon knowing full well that you will be hungry by 6 in the evening. Some students,myself included do not eat chicken or beef which is the primary meal at the feeding scheme, so how are we to be provided for? This is not a choice, I become deathly sick if I consume poultry or beef, now should I die just because I'm hungry?
