My name is Thabo Dlamini, and I am the founder of South Africa Bursaries. My journey with bursaries started while I was studying at the University of Cape Town. There, I developed a passion for making higher education accessible to students by sharing the latest bursary information I came across with them and encouraging them to apply. These inspired me to create South Africa Bursaries, a platform dedicated to helping students find educational funding bursary opportunities.
