The following letter was received from Thandiwe Mncina – the winner of the Education Bursary sponsored by the Nkomazi Trust. Thandy is currently a first year Bachelor of Arts student at the University of the Free State.
Hello John,
We are on holiday now, and I am back at Nkomazi working with the drama team as my community service for two weeks. School is wonderfull, I love and enjoy all my classes. I have passed all my tests for this term and I am planning on working harder in the next term. I was in the first years' drama class and I enjoy it a lot. My hostel did not win, but after all we had a lot of fun and that's what matters. I play netball and soccer for my hostel also. Before we had holidays I went to audition for Kleinsier which is only music, and I got selected, which means I will be doing a lot of practices & studying when I get back, but please don't worry, I am able to manage my time meaning education comes first.
Thank you,
Thandy
