First semester fees covered
In a heartfelt social media post, Nothando revealed that although her fundraising campaign initially aimed to raise R150,000, she has already received significant support.
She shared, “My campaign started with a goal of R150 000… and already, God is moving. Because my mom was a proud member of SAG-AFTRA, my first semester fees are now covered – something I don’t take lightly at all. This journey is bigger than me… It’s legacy, it’s purpose, it’s rebuilding.”
