Age is nothing but a number! As graduation season is upon us, many people celebrate the fruits of their labour after sacrificing four years of their lives to obtain a qualification.
With the rise of the unemployment rate and people going back to school to upskill themselves for better job opportunities, a TikTok creator shared a video of her mother’s graduation day.
In the video, the creator who goes by the username @andadlayedwa on that app celebrated her mother graduating at the age of 54 years. Her mother Ntombomzi Dlayedwa graduated from the Cape Peninsula University Technology (CPUT) with a Diploma in Grade R teaching.
