I just want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible support you’ve given me throughout my academic journey.
I’m truly grateful to have been a recipient of your bursary. It made a huge impact in my life, not just financially, but emotionally too. I’m the first graduate in my family and it was all possible because of Thusani Trust and CareerWise.
Your support covered not only my tuition, but also things like textbooks and living expenses. That made such a huge difference and allowed me to fully commit to my education without constant stress.
Knowing that my family didn’t have worry financially about my fees was a great motivation for me. Honestly, I don’t know where I’d be without your help.
Now that I’ve graduated, I’m exiting to take the next steps and Im currently applying for job opportunities and excited to start working. I’m hopeful and ready to keep growing, knowing the foundation you helped me build is strong.
Thank you for believing in me and investing in my future. I’m so proud to be a graduate, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Thusani Trust and Career Wise. Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Asanda Qwabe

I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Career Wise and South32 for being a pillar of support during one of the most critical points in my academic journey.

The bursary came when I was about to deregister due to financial burden and emotional stress, in the beginning of my final year. I couldn’t believe it when I received a call from Career Wise asking whether I had funding. That moment changed everything. I felt like a fresh first-year student again, full of hope and determination. From that day on, I made a promise to myself that I would give my best and make this opportunity count.

I could write a book about all the good things the bursary has done for me. My gratitude will never be enough. Today, I stand proud as a qualified Chemical Engineer, and I can say with confidence: thank you for saving my career.

I would also like to say a special thank you to sisi Zama and bhuti Luyanda for the support you both gave me. You have always been nothing but kind, encouraging, and supportive throughout this journey-and I truly appreciate that. 🙏
