Question 6

Read this article and answer the questions that follow. Mpo grew up in a very poor
family where food was a scarce commodity. She often went to bed hungry. Mpo
soon realised that it would take hard work and determination to change her
circumstances. Education was a key to her success, and even though she had to run
to school each day almost 10 km away from her home, Mpo knew she had to
persevere. The grim reality of going to bed hungry and not having Shoes to walk the
distance to school each day only drove Mpo to strive for a better education. ‘I wanted
more and a family friend who was studying told I had to work harder than an average
person to get where I wanted to be,’ she says. As a result, Mpo spent most nights
studying by candlelight and many afternoons in the library so that she would achieve
good results. For many youth in rural areas a metric certificate symbolises access to
work, but Mpo wanted even more. Her plan was to go to university, a venture that no
one in her immediate family had ever undertaken. After matriculating in 1999, and
with no money, Mpo then needed to find a way to realise her dreams of a university
qualification. She quickly found out About the National Student Financial Aid Scheme
(NSFAS) and because she was from a poor background and had the potential to
succeed, Mpo qualified NSFAS financial aid to pay for her studies in accounting. At
age 19, she became the first member of her family to graduate from university. But
this in itself was not enough. Against her mother’s will, Mpo then moved to
Johannesburg to pursue her dream of becoming a chartered accountant. Things
were not all smooth sailing. ‘It was all too much for me, I was alone, no money and
no relatives and even contemplated suicide at one stage,’ she confesses. Yet Mpo
persevered, and in 2006 she commenced her articles. In 2008 she joined the
Thuthuka Programme through SAICA (the South African Institution of Chartered
Accountants) and completed both her QE1 and QE2 examinations, ranking in the top
10 of her class. What seemed impossible to some became a reality to Mpo, who is
now a qualified chartered accountant. She is presently employed at Wesbank as a
Financial Specialist. ‘Today I am a somebody. I have made something out of my
life,… I used my obstacles to pave for myself.’ Thanks to government funding
through NSFAS, Mpho’s circumstances were changed for the better.
