Nandipha Mdanyana graduated from the North West University, despite facing difficulties at school, where she failed two different grades.

"I was really excited when I passed my matric. I remember showing the principal my results and he was just like, 'Your marks are not great, don’t even bother to apply at any university. Try colleges, that's where you belong,'" Mdanyana told TimesLIVE."Getting this diploma was a dream come true for me.

I know getting a job might not be easy due to high unemployment, hence I will take any job that comes my way. And at least I have my diploma handy," she said."Look at me now - the stupid, slow little girl who couldn't qualify for university. The stupid, slow girl who can only go to a college. The girl whose cousins are better than her because they finished school before her. God showed them," she said in a social media post.
