My name is Sibusile Sinothando Lamula, I am a qualified Pharmacist thanks to the incredible support provided by the UYDF. I would like to thank Umthombo for the opportunity that was awarded to me, enabling me to pursue my dream of becoming a Pharmacist.
My mother was the sole breadwinner in my family and sometimes had to support my extended family members with the little that she had. With that said, she would not have been able to afford to pay for my University fees.
I will be forever grateful for Anglo American together with the Umthombo Youth Development Foundation as I had no worries about who would pay my tuition and accommodation fees, including all of the study material that I needed.
In addition, every month I received a food allowance and a book allowance at the beginning of each year without fail. The Foundation made my university life a very easy and pleasant experience. I am now working and able to support my family whilst serving the community with my newly gained knowledge.
