As hardworking interns of Merseta,Sekhukhune tvet college(CS Barlow) we wake up every day to go to work. Our children are going hungry while we strive to make ends meet. The sad reality is that our stipends from CS Barlow are not being paid in full and on time. This lack of communication and disregard for our needs is taking a toll on us.

Our stipends are not just monetary compensation; they represent the dignity of our labor and the welfare of our families. It's disheartening that despite working tirelessly, we're unable to provide basic necessities for our children due to delayed or incomplete payments.

According to Statistics South Africa (2019), over 70% of children in Limpopo live below the poverty line. This situation is exacerbated when parents like us don't receive their rightful dues on time.

We urge CS Barlow to respect our rights as workers by ensuring timely payment in full of all stipends owed. We also demand clear communication regarding any changes or delays in payment schedules moving forward.

This petition isn't just about money; it's about respect, dignity, and justice for hardworking individuals who deserve better treatment from their employers. Please sign this petition if you believe in fair labor practices and stand with us against exploitation.
