Legal fees for Sibusiso's wage-theft claim in Johannesburg
Help Sibusiso cover the fees of a wage-theft claim so He can stay with his family.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa687 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $750. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at Johannesburg Welcome Centre has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
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 $750 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $470
• Filing and biometrics fees: $195
• Certified translations and document copies: $45
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
Thank you so much.

Best of luck, Sibusiso. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Spokane
your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. Love from San Jose
