Favyou Magazine Issue 6

The members of my crew felt they were used
and they quit the group, however I remained
until I left Polokwane, I did it because I
enjoyed it and I didn’t see the reason to give
up. After I left Polokwane I came to Gauteng
looking for an institution to study
Biotechnology with, I couldn’t get space at
several institutions including Tshwane
University of Technology, when I finally got
space at Midrand Graduate
Institute, I realized that I couldn’t afford to
study there as it was too expensive, I tried
getting study loans (I remember going to four
ways to submit my application forms at CTI, I
didn’t even know the place, let alone Gauteng.
I was scared but I overcame that). The
application was declined due to my parent’s
financial state. My dream was shuttered, I saw
another chance at PC training but again it had
no NSFAS, I couldn’t register there as well. I
told myself that there is no way I am going
back to Polokwane, it will kill my mom to see
me sitting at home, I went and looked for a
Job. I passed my matric with a Bachelor and I
had computer skills, in fact I passed IT with I
high score, so I stood a good chance. That is
when I got a job at Shoprite
Distribution Center, I was working a 12-hour
shift, my father was very unhappy with this as
I also had to work night shift, however I knew I
wanted to go back to school. I persevered and
4 years later I was appointed Assistant
Systems Manager at the very same company.

LAST WORDS
Midnyt Coding is always looking for ways to
inspire and emancipate young people,
especially looking at the situation our country
is in as far as unemployment is concerned.
We hosted our first Business Expo called The
Entrepreneur In Me in 2017, which was a great
success. We had a number of young people,
and other stake holders of the NYDA as well as
established business people. The aim of THE
EIM was to evoke The Entrepreneur In young
people so they can go out and create more job
opportunities as a means of fighting
unemployment. In the fight against
unemployment, we have recruited young people
who work as Brand Ambassadors, they work
flexible hours, as independent contractors to
market the company and they earn by
commission. The Brand Ambassador project
is set to award a free bursary to the best
candidate after 12 months of the program.
Keep your dream alive
Understand to achieve anything
your require faith and belief in
yourself, vision, hard work,
determination, and dedication.
Remember all things are possible
for those who believe.”
