A book-smart accountant is certainly giving Mzansi much cause for celebration after graduating from the University of London with a BCOM Accounting degree.

What’s more, he achieved the incredible feat with a cum laude pass to boast.

The determined graduate’s name is Sifiso Sithole. The Master of Sciences says his research in the chosen field will aim to help alleviate youth unemployment in Mzansi.

Not seeing himself as part of South Africa’s ever-increasing brain drain, Sifiso also has plans to continue making a difference here at home.

He currently works as a lecturer at the University of Johannesburg. “I look forward to utilising more of the business strategy and skills that I am currently obtaining in my PGDA(CTA) and from my PGDIP in law to solve the unemployment issue faced in SA,” he charmingly writes.

Naturally, social media users took to the comments section and commended the young man on his outstanding efforts. Check out some comments below:

In more inspirational news, Briefly News previously reported that it’s always a big day when you celebrate your graduation, but it becomes more special when you achieve it with your father.

That is the story of beautiful Lesego Sema, who recently qualified with a BCom degree in Accounting, and she is looking for a job.

Sema’s story was profiled by Varsity World on Facebook, and she says their day was very precious to be because her dad made it with an MBA degree.
