Hope for poor students

Jan 10, 2011 | Sizwe ka Banzi | 19 comments

A GUGULETHU businessman has opened his heart and purse to promising students from poor backgrounds

Vuyani Nogaga, who runs NY1's Duma Caltex Service Station, says matriculants who need bursaries for their first year of study at tertiary institutions this year should apply for one of his bursaries.

Last year Nogaga gave out eight bursaries and, buoyed by the performance of candidates he has now vowed to double the number.

"Their zeal to succeed drove me to help more of them," Nogaga said.

Caltex first offered to pay for two bursaries but when more than 30 people applied Nogaga decided to support eight more students.

Forms are available at Duma Service Station in Gugulethu and Luyanda Service Station in Site C, Khayelitsha.

The deadline is January 21. Students can also SMS their names to 082-757-1491.

how many black students are currently suffering or cannot continue with they studies, some cannot pay their debts student loans cos they cant get jobs.

Most black student get in debts before they even finished their studies, then they have to take their siblings to school or tertiary too, look after their families before they could also do somethings for themselves.

if we had businessmen like this one we could get somewere as black nation. but sadly we moving backwards faster than you can spel "fast"

@Catty - thank GOD for 8.ta you would be suffering like hell, cant sdo ish...your name would be blacklisted...its sad what we do...we have the so called made it black businessmen and women who always complaining about crime and other things, but they are not helping in any ways.

its their money and what they do with it its purely upto them. When they are targeted by criminals they make a big hurray that black on black crime is not right, what about black on black supprt?
