A 50-year-old woman identified as Connie Nkwinika, has celebrated graduating with a National Diploma.


Celebrating her achievement on social media, the South African woman, Connie revealed how stressful it was to further her education.
She went into detail about how she had enrolled in a learnership at her workplace for her new qualification. Connie said the qualification took longer than expected due to the challenges brought forth by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In her words:
“We managed to sit for exams last year in August and results came out in October and I found that I hadn’t made it. Bitter, angry, devastated and disappointed at myself for having worked so hard for this qualification and never make it.
“I got a strange call on Monday from SABPP and this lady asked if I had enrolled or studying this year and my answer was no, with no interest whatsoever as to why they calling me. In my mind I thought they were just encouraging me to enroll to retake my exam, which I was not ready to do, let alone willing or even planning to, since I was bitter.
“They are busy updating the system and I will be getting my certificate. Now this was really good news, I am so happy that I made it at age 50 this year. I can now be called a graduate. I’m in awe. I’m definitely staying. #ImStaying,” she said with gratitude.”
She received lots of congratulatory messages.
