Campaign Story
My name is Taelo Mengwai from South Africa, Johannesburg in the small township - Vosloorus (East Rand). I am a recent University of Witwatersrand Honours degree graduate in Construction Management (2020). I also hold an undergraduate degree in Construction Studies obtained in 2019.
I returned for my Honours degree studies last year (2020) after completing my undergraduate studies because I aspired to be junior construction/project manager for high-profiled construction establishments in South Africa and abroad, which required me to have postgrad qualification. By God's grace I managed to do well. Financial hurdles stole away the joy and pleasure of finishing such a milestone at one of top African University Institutions. I never thought that I would one day be a product of such an institution, coming from a small township were dreams and ambitions to become anything massive is impeded and veiled by limited resources and the amount of daily information consumed. As it stands, I owe the University R122 750. 00.
I did not have funding for my 2020 academic year when I enrolled at the University and I therefore acknowledged debt with the belief and hope to acquire a bursary before the year had ended. I had hoped to secure it over the course of the year. Covid-19 pandemic happened, prompting lockdown regulations which made life hard at anything. As such, numerous bursary/ scholarship funding applications were made but I was unsuccessful. As an orphan, for financial help on minor things and surviving, my siblings and I are dependent on my lil' sister whom barely earns enough to help towards my fees.
For reference on fees, please view the screenshots of the fee statement. Your financial assistance in this regard will be highly appreciated, thank you.
