FOURWAYS – Read how you can help a Petroleum Engineering student complete his studies.

He added that after consultation with an engineering Professor at Wits University, it was recommended that he need to further his studies.
“If I have hopes of securing a job in South Africa, I need to complete my studies. I entered for a post-graduate diploma in chemical engineering and was accepted into the programme for this year, Chuma said.

“I am looking for a job in my preferred industry, petroleum, and would appreciate an opportunity to prove my ability and willingness within a company. My dream is still to further my studies, as Benjamin Franklin stated that ‘investment in knowledge pays the best interest’,” Chuma said.
He explained that he was in need of R70 000 to pay the balance of his fees.
