So all of this was waiting for our generation to become adults...the COVID lockdown, the climate change and floods, the war that brings on high fuel prices, the unaffordable property prices, food is so expensive, now they've brought Hantavirus to South Africa

This is terrible advice! Don't decenter your university qualifications. You paid so much money to earn those. Center them and use them to make a living. Start a company, do freelancing, do consulting. Most people don't know what you know. Those will make millions for you!
Decenter your university qualifications at your earliest convenience. Don’t get caught up in the sauce

I don’t know if this still happens but Teachers from Zwelibanzi High School (Umlazi) used to offer free after school classes. The subjects covered were Physics, Maths and English. These classes were held at Mangosuthu University. And I used to go there when I finished my regular day classes. Not only did I do well in those studies, but those teachers also encouraged me to apply at UCT (which I later got accepted and moved to CPT). My life changed so much with this habit adoption, their encouragement and support. I owe Mr. Maseko & Mrs. Chili my life 🀲🏾🍲🀝🏾
I don’t know what’s happening to KZN schools, particularly the public schools in township and rural areas, but I am very delighted to see this. More than half of the schools in my kasi got 90% pass rate with only one in the entire town getting below 80%. That was never the case a decade ago.

Disgusting!!!!Lock them up and throw away the key.
The two young women accused of raping an 11-year-old boy appeared before the East London Magistrates Court yesterday. They allegedly lured a minor into one of their homes while he was playing outside.
