The story about the unpaid volunteers was covered by People’s Post yesterday, reporting along similar lines to the Weekend Argus article.
The article quotes volunteers Walter Daniels and Ashraf Parker, and they tell the story about the promised stipend, the FNB Card, how they check their card every day but it still does not have any payment in it, and the lack of communication between Volunteers and the Cape Town LOC.
National Volunteer Manager Onke Mjo is reported to have said that volunteers will be paid “soon”! She blames the problems with volunteer bank accounts for the delay in payment! A telephone number (011) 567-2010 is offered for information about stipend payments.

How can they blame the volunteers for bank accounts when they did open FNB cards for all volunteers i think it is pathetic to wait so long for our money as the world cup is over almost more that a month ago. I wonder did the LOC members got paid.
Finally, the wait for getting our payments ends!
