Thermodynamics:there r a lot of short courses u can do at unisa, there is one for 6 months,one year, 2,3 years. It all depends on what u wanna do. U fit get employment here after studying if u r very good at it. I know some naija pikins who get their own companies(construction)here. Engineering pays here. I bet u, if u stand out academic wise, a lot of construction companies go even dey track u before u finish ur studies. As per d fees for studying at unisa I think google will help u better. The best part is that u don't even have to pay everything cash. U r given a time frame to pay. There are a lot of professional nigerians here doing very well in their fields. No discrimantion whatsoever, if u can deliver, everyone patronises u, blacks,whites,indians,chinese,coloureds. 7 Likes 1 Share |

samtol4:thanks bro but no where i said 90 percent are pauper, although i didnt include academic but i said 10 percent working in big offices, another 10 percent own business so if i had added academic u can see the percentage. |

PAINGAIN:Nah man, you are lying hey, Nigerians do live in slums, the whole Berea, Yeovil, Hillbrow area is made up of slums and that's where you find African immigrants the most, and no again there are informal settlements and townships, there two aren't the same, Soweto for instance is not a slum |
Re: Things You Must Know Before Coming To South Africa - A Nairalander In SA by LeSudAfricaine: 12:04pm On May 12, 2015 |

LeSudAfricaine:do u even know the meaning of SLUM? How can u call hillbrow,berea,yeovil as slums? Its like saying harlem in newyork is a slum. Alexandra is a slum that's why they r called townships/informal settlements bcus using d word slum would not b cool. U call a place as well developed as hillbrow,berea and yeaovil slums. Smh |

gboly3190:she's doing hers in a private nursing school, they r all acredited. The process isn't that hectic. Their minimun requirement is school cert which will b evaluated by d south african qualifications authority(SAQA). Then immediately its completed, which takes between 10 to 20 working days, u take it back to d nursing school, they'll then process ur apllication,get medical cover, make d necessary payments(u don't have to pay everything at once) then they issue u admission letter which u'll use to apply for ur study permit. When u get ur permit u can open a bank account. Then ur study resumes. 2 Likes 1 Share |

PAINGAIN:ha ha ha, bru I'm South African born and bred, we can't argue about my country I know it like I know the back of my hand you can't teach me anything, The presence of bulidings alone does not make an area developed, yes the infrastructure is there but it's crumbling, Hillbrow over the years has degenerated into a slum, it is a shadow of what it once was, derelict buildings, open sewers, litter everywhere etc, there are slums in New York, Paris and London, Hillbrow is one slum of Johannesburg .To say no Nigerian in SA live in slums is laughable 5 Likes 1 Share |
