We met up with another young person from Monyakeng Wesselsbron, who is a testimony that all things work together for good…
Tell us about yourself….Who is Sizwe?
My name is Sizwe Faith Sithole. I just completed my matric last year.
In January before I came to Russia I got bursaries from 3 different Institutions….-University of Free State (Political Science/Teaching), University Of Western Cape (Physiotherapy/Law) and Central University Of Technology to study Teaching or IT.
In 2012 I went Goldfields FET collage just after when I passed my grade 9 to study IT there but things did not go well and then my mom decided that I go back to High School and I remember telling my mom that I can’t go back to High School because my friends are now in grade 11 and am going to be in grade 10 but my mom said to me “son that doesn’t matter just go there finish your matric I want you to be a Lawyer. I went back and did what she asked I do.
How did you become part students who were selected to study in Russia
That was very tough I want to be honest but God made it easy though . I was amongst the top 10 Nala best Grade 12 Learners of 2015. I decided that I should go to UFS and study BEd Senior and FET Phase. But things took a turn, while I was in Bloemfontein. I met with Prince Boneni and Nala Mayor. They made sure I go to Russia and study Soil Science/Agronomy.
What do you miss about your Life in SA
I miss everything about Mzansi, I even miss a simple good morning with a smile, and here in Russia I don’t get that. I can’t compare Russia with home because; Mzansi is the best when it comes to food. The culture here is very difficult for one to understand. I also miss the water back home, the water here is horrible, and we have to buy water every day.
What do you hope to achieve in Russia
I hope to get my first degree in Agronomy and become an Agronomist. I want to produce food in mzansi I just want to end poverty. Lastly I would like to put my name on the Wall of fame with great results.
You still have more years in Russia, what do you hope to bring to kasilevesa and SA when you come back
I want to bring my experience in Mzansi and end poverty. Open my own company that will help learners to pursue their dreams help/assist them with funds.
Any shout outs?
I just want to hala my all my friends my family and Mrs Ramolla who has been like a second mom to me. She has always been there when I needed help, Mr Mhambi,Mme Msobela and Mme Kholumo those are the best teachers in the world наконец мои сообщесто в целом я просто люблю его(lastly my community as a whole I just love it).
