Zanele is one term away from finishing a law degree but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $1,450.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at the Bloemfontein Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,450.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my faculty supervisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the the Bloemfontein Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $550
• Final term tuition: $740
• Exam and lab fees: $65
• Textbooks and materials: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bloemfontein.
praying for you, Zanele. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Glasgow!
sending love. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. After 18 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong, Zanele. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
