One month left to apply for NSFAS bursaries

With just one month left till the closing date, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is urging South Africans who wish to study in 2019 to apply for bursaries.

Applications for funding to study at accredited tertiary institutions opened in September and will close at the end of November.

NSFAS has a duty to ensure that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds  access higher education or further their studies despite their financial backgrounds, giving them the same chance to be educated as those who are able to afford tertiary education.

Thuma Mina express at your service

Thuma Mina Express Services is changing the life of Thabang Dlamini.

Prior to starting the business, Dlamini was unemployed but had the idea to start a business that would make life easier for his community.

Established almost three years ago, Thuma Mina is based in Tsakane, which is part of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.

Its core service is to run errands and make small deliveries around the township with a bicycle.

Dlamini said being unemployed pushed him to think out of the box and consider the idea of starting his own business.
