Testimonials from Gibela bursary previously funded students
Here is what previously funded students are saying about Gibela bursary programme.
Kagiso Sejojo
Hometown: Duduza, Gauteng
Institution: University of the Witwatersrand
Course: BA (Law)
“With my background, I wouldn’t have been able to afford to go university – I didn’t even qualify for a loan. Gibela gives us support, is always there for us, checks up on our development and motivates us. During the bursar development week, we were taught to believe in ourselves and that we can reach our aspirations to be who we want to be. I’m really interested in constitutional law. I would like to become South Africa’s chief justice one day. I’m aiming high and dreaming big.”
