Qumbisa has made it his mandate to assist learners from neighbouring disadvantaged school through the process of applying for university studies.
“I found that many schools don’t have the resources to help their learners apply for their higher learning places. Most learners don’t know where to go to find forms, how to apply for NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme) and other funding,” he said.
The first year law student would like more students to join him on his quest of informing young people about their options and applying process.

“I’ve only been able to target schools in Clermont but it is my desire to see more young people help their less fortunate peers,” he said.
The 22-year-old pays for the internet cafe visits and transport fees himself and hopes that if more young people join him, the burden of the funds can be shared. Anele Qumbisa can be contacted on 061 306 8064.
