Mwenezi- A Mwenezi whizkid Ruvarashe Ncube, who scored 20 points in last years’ Zimbabwe School Examination Council (ZIMSEC) A’ Level exams, is appealing for assistance so that she can proceed to university.
Ncube (20), from Ward 17 in Sovelela, Mwenezi West scored straight As in Pure Mathematics, Business Studies, Economics and Statistics, but her dream to study at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) where she applied and offered a place got shuttered after she failed to raise fees.
“I am really interested in proceeding to university and my ambition is to study Actuarial Sciences but as it stands I am completely hopeless as my family cannot raise the money needed to further my studies.
“Last year I applied for enrolment at NUST and was offered a place to study but I failed to enroll due to lack of finance. If I am to get any slightest chance, I am therefore, appealing to well-wishers to assist me either in cash or kind so that I can pursue my studies,” said Ncube.
One of Ncube’s relatives Amos Hungwe also appealed on her behalf saying it pains them as a family that they cannot afford to send her to school.
“The girl has been the family’s pride since grade one but it is very painful that we have failed to raise funds so that she can pursue her studies. It was very challenging for the girl to complete her primary and secondary education. We have since exhausted all the few resources we had, therefore, we are appealing to any organisations or individuals who can assist her with fees so that she can pursue her tertiary education,” said Hungwe.
Ncube’s mother passed away sometime in 2011 and her father has failed to raise money needed for her to follow her dreams.
