Goodday fellow convocants of the University of Zululand.
My academic achievements were nurtured from this esteemed academic institution law school of KwaDlangezwa.
We, with my spouse, grew up together and registered as students of Ongoye in the late 80’s.
The academic excellence from this gallant University just across the Umhlathuze River not far from Empangeni Town still alive in my medulla oblingata as academic nerves.
We thank God for our achievements throughout the long journeys between Eastern Transvaal, now renamed into Mpumalanga Province after the tumultuous hunt for higher education.
Looking back and counting our blessings it would be unfair not to say “Thanks God ” who made it possible for us to achieve our goals in the long academic journey and achieving our goals to ensure academic achievements.
Not forgetting everyone who made it possible by lending financial aid and the moral support from friends and relatives.
The KaNgwane Homeland created a bursary scheme by Dr. Enos Mabuza for whom we say ” salute and hat’s off” .
The benevolent Afrikaner Matskappy: LaeveldseTrustBelegings in Nelspruit City of Mbombela was a pillar of my strength for which Iam ever grateful.
Friends and relatives tried their best in supporting my interest in education.
Be blessed in God’s grace
Thank you for allowing me to express my gratitude to everyone who lent a helping hand in different formats of kindness.
It feels good to remember that one succeeds in life because of moral and material supporting efforts from friends and relatives not forgetting the kindness of fellow South African citizens of all races.
Thank you for your kind efforts.
It is quite inspiring to be able to write down what ever grateful experience and sharing legal education with our fellow beings.
We cannot ever be disheartened or disrespectful to others. Human beings are made to be successful in their respective fields of ability to improve peaceful coexistence. Human Rights is an embracement of respect.
The world would have been a disastrous terrain of battlefield of human slaughtering place without respect for life.
The University of Zululand was well placed to accommodate those of us who had the wish to feed our brains with pedagogical and legal education let alone Science and commercial jurisprudence.
Apartheid regime could be seen, partially, as vicious towards educational enhancements but there are good people, irrespective of the color of our skins, we’re God’s blessings and positively helped some of us to successfulness in various aspects of pedagogical and human rights let alone and sundry. Give credit where it’s due .
Iam, as one, can testify positively and praise the Lord to unify us in diversity and peaceful coexistence. Never blame everyone for sins committed by others.
Traveling from Nelspruit/ Mbombela to Empangeni/ KwaDlangezwa to study law and support by LaeveldseTrustBelegings and KaNgwane Homeland Apartheid regime can be condoned to a limit than not at all.
William Shakespeare says give credit where is due. I concur. Be blessed.
