“Silulumanzi Sparks Success: Nokwanda Xulu’s Journey from KaMagugu to University of the Witwatersrand”

Loading player...
Silulumanzi is changing lives through education — and Nokwanda Xulu is living proof. In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Nokwanda from KaMagugu, who is now pursuing her dream of becoming a chemical engineer at the University of the Witwatersrand, thanks to the Silulumanzi Bursary Fund.

She shares her excitement about stepping into university life, what this opportunity means for her family, and how the bursary — covering tuition, accommodation, books, and a monthly stipend — has allowed her to focus fully on her studies without financial stress.

This is a powerful conversation about dreams realised, hard work rewarded, and how Silulumanzi continues to invest in the future of our communities.
