Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Themba's wage-theft claim
Themba needs $250 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the September deadline.

Themba is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $250. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Themba has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Johannesburg Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Themba could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $250 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $60
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $45
• Filing and biometrics fees: $145
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
