It has come to this; I have to make a decision today that will ultimately change everything in my life. In the past forums I practically begged for some kind of education. Knowing now that Unisa will not accept me and that the colleges don’t want to allow us a part time N3 classes I have no choice.

The work we will be doing is horribly dangerous and there is no safety to speak of. Basically it is out of the country and the place we are going is dangerous in its own right. I have to do all of this because I cannot get over the R2500 per month salary with no benefits to speak of.

The job at hand is a bit more lucrative but it is dangerous and we have no formal training so there is no guarantees. I find it sad that it has come to this. South Africa the land of change cannot provide the most basic of needs when it comes to education and giving adults a change in life to better themselves.

Thanks for reading.
