Although the grant awarded to me is insufficient it will somehow help me to pay a position of my tuition fees.

I managed to raise the initial installment of registration of R1400.00. The grant awarded to me will be used towards reducing the balance. Sine I almost afford to pay for my books fees. I am going to take R500.00 from the grant towards the requisition of books, the balance of R500.00 will go towards tuition. Since I cannot meet all my demands with the grant I am going to approach the administration for a loan so as to settle the full amount.

I am Hollingsworth Zulu, born on 10 July 1958 at Umsunsure Mission Station in the district of Mdwedwe I am from a family if six children and I am the fifth child. There are four boys and two girls.

I have never experienced any problems in any schooling, ??? completed my senior certificate in 1977 having not failed a class or even the mid-year exams. This can further be proved in my university record.   I have never failed a class ? 1990 my first year of entry. During my schooling career especially at secondary level I was involved with debating society and also quiz. I was also involved in the local church choir.

I managed to complete my matric ? difficult situations because of financial constraints. My father was getting a ? salary as a teacher and the sole breadwinner at home. I was aware of the situation and concentrated on my studies. After completing I was forced by circumstances to go and work because my father could not afford. I found Kwazulu government in 1978 as a clerk in the Department of Justice and later in 1982 I was transferred to department of Finance. In 1989 I got married and eventually resigned at the end of the year to further my studies holding a rank of a chief administration clerk.

In my family there are six children, four boys and two girls. My father is a retired teacher. He retired in 1988 and my mother is an ordinary housewife. We are a family of Christians.

My wife is employed as a teacher, in Kwazulu government service. She is the sole breadwinner. She earns about R1500.00 per month. Her salary does not meet all our demands as I am unemployed. We are paying R200 per month for rent. In 1990 I managed to pay all my tuition fees and in 1991 I managed to pay the first installment and I applied for a loan to settle the balance.

At the present moment I cannot manage because I have got no other source of income. My wife is also responsible for the upbringing of our three children. The first one is attending school. It is totally impossible for her to pay for my tuition.
