Jabu is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in social work at Ekurhuleni Community College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,150.
The registrar has said Jabu can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Jabu has a 3.6 average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Jabu would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Jabu isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Final term tuition: $410
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Outstanding tuition balance: $710

Thanks for sharing this, Thulani. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Ekurhuleni.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Salem
