Legal fees for Nalini's wrongful-eviction defense in Polokwane
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Nalini can't afford the lawyer.
🇿🇦 Polokwane, Limpopo, South Africa1,412 views
Nalini is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,000. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Nalini has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Nalini 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $860
• Filing and biometrics fees: $90
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Munich
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nalini.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($860) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Nalini?
Hang in there, Precious. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.

Hang in there, Precious. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
