Bismilah. Sister be aware that attaining the success of this world is only by worldly means . Worldly Means here has two categories Good Means( e.g. you can decide to read and study very well so that you can pass the exam) and Bad Means(e.g. you decide to cheat during the exam). If the former read well and write the exam very well he will surely pass. The later also might cheat well and will also pass the exams. Know that Allah only give us what He wills of this world.

The fact that your husband does not pray does not mean that he can't attain the success of this world. Even those that say there is no God are given the worldly thing by Allah. If you supplicate to Allah and your prayers were not answered it is not because of ur sin or righteousness. But a believer in Allah will always centre everything he does to Allah. Hoping for his mercy. May Allah enrich me and You of the goodness of this world and the hereafter Aamin. Tell your husband to observe sallat daily, and ewmind him of the punishment of Allah.

Her write stated it clearly that she from Western part of Nigeria confused Muslim...

This are religious trouble makers. All their religious law are mostly taken too serious by the poor ones, their women will tell you they don't shake hands with men but they can sleep with them. I have seen the rich amongst their woman who hug men.
The stupid pretenders will always use a peaceful religion as a cover for their evils.

Please wat are the steps to step guide to apply for sa visa... I have been given admission for msc

When you mentioned that you plannin on undertakin Postgraduate studes in those places, then University of Free State comes to mind and i assume that's where you are headed.

Bloemfontein is a very vibrant city and one advantage it has over Grahamstown (in your case) is that you could get part time jobs in Bloem. Grahamstown is very limited in that aspect.

I must bring to your attention, UFS is notoriously alleged for its language racism. My man, a UFS lecturer in some cases may render a class entirely in Afrikaans( similar to Dutch) knowing fully well there are non-Afrkaans speakers in that class. They even have English and Afrikaans lectures sepearately. But, this was some years ago and things may have changed.

When it comes to choice of where to study in these two cases, it depends largely on the type of person you are. If you are laid back, sociable and not wantin the city vibe then by all means choose Rhodes University.

Food is cheap in Bloem and you can access more economic opportunities there as compared to Grahamstown. When you get to SA you will understand

What else would you like yo know?

abdullahi45:
Thanks so much for your response. I am only trying to compare between Bloemfontein, free state and Grahamstawn.

I am going to SA for my postgraduate studies.
I want be informed about security, people's lifestyle, opportunities for students there and other things necessary.

Thanks once again.

Manager007:
What exactly would you like to know about those places you mentioned?

To start with, Free state is but a province and not a city. You would need to mention a spefic city in FS so i can advise you adequately about life in that city.

Grahamstown is a small town in the Eastern Province. It's a very nice place and one or my favourite places in SA. The only thing(s) keepin that town bubbly are the Rhodes University and Thr Grahamstown annual Art festival. Its a university town so everythin is centered around that varsity. You will love livin there. Food is cheap. Weather is bearable but extremely cold in winter because its surrounded by mountains. But accomodation is not so cheap hey? Its only about one hour to Port Elizabeth which is the bigger city where you can buy lots of things includin naija foods. Grahamstown will offer you good security but nevertheless be cautious in some dark areas of that town. Racism is everywhere includin SA. There are good people black and white as well as bad folks too. But what i have found is that white folks in Grahamstown are generally more receptive than the ones in Free state and i think its bevause of the British influence dominant there.
Lots of beautitul girls there and you will think you are in paradise. I have good memories of that place.

abdullahi45:
how do you mean by convincing letter? he only indicated he is my maternal uncle and wish to sponsor my postgraduate studies. any other thing to be included?

abdullahi45:
hi,

Is anyone in Free state or Grahamstown or has info about those two places here. I want to know about those two places please (security, crime rate, racism, living styles and other things you think necessary).

Your response will really help in making a decision

Thanks

The bank statement is current.
Make sure you pay part of your tuition and get convincing letter of support from him since he is your uncle not your parent. Add his other supporting documents.

Not paying part of your tuition means you are not a genuine student but he is helping you to immigrate to SA.

infofta:
Yes.
What you do and your account transaction for the past 4 months matters a lot.

abdullahi45:

abdullahi45:
Hi Gurus,

i am preparing my docs for study visa application, i have little issue with bank reference letter to support my sponsor Statement of Account. I was told from the bank that bank reference letter can only be drafted in support of him (my sponsor) if he is the one traveling. I told them that i only need his bank reference letter to support his SOA which i want to submit for visa.

Kindly give me correct info you have with regards the bank reference letter please.

also i want to go for off campus residence as the school own is full, i am about to get lease agreement from the landlord there, i hope this suffice for visa application or is it better i just make hotel reservation?
also the residence is R1700 per month i hope the embassy will not have any problem with it saying it is cheap?

is it compulsory i certify/notarize the sponsor's letter provided for me?

Thanks in anticipation Gurus.

I appreciate.

My advice follow what saqa gave u. Do honours first cos it's mostly research. Why I said do honours first is for u to get used to their system and their research method how they mark and all. Trust me I'm doing undergrade the research I do no be beans and the research assignment/essays I write is not easy. So do honours so u can know more about it. Cos masters too won't be easy and I think u have to write a thesis at masters level. I know u have done honours with ur 4yrs but u can't compare . that's my own advice tho

Hi Abdullahi,

Scholarships for international students (such as yourself) is very competitive and not guaranteed. SA is going through a Fee-reduction phase nationally, and priority is given to South African students. That being said, your best chance at securing a scholarship if to first enrol/register for your studies at the international office. In most cases, just before the end of your first semester, there would be calls for applications to various scholarships and bursaries. You can then apply for such. There’s even a needy-based student bursary that most universities advertise. But only on their enrolled students portal. All of these would not be available to a non-registered student as yourself in the beginning.

However, it’s a flip story on the Msc studies. You will get funding/scholarship/bursary especially after your first semester of studies.


Your program Microbiology is lucrative in SA. Try to enrol and study. It will be your best self-investment you will ever make,

Keep well.

abdullahi45:
