Get practical skills to solve problems . Nobody pay you for degrees they pay you to solve problems .Degrees are good but not enough to pay bills .

I forgot marriage certificate at home when submitting my application for study permit, the Vfs officer asked and I jokingly told him, am a man, it's woman property, he only laughed and agree!
I hope it won't affect my application?
pls share your views or experience. I am going for PhD.

It won't affect .

iWise:
This is not completely accurate. I know for a fact that the department of mathematics does not require SAQA.

Every department require SAQA,however some depts like maths gives waiver to attract international students,knowing fully that International students are the backbone of research in the School . Media studies dept also gives waiver for this .

The Government of South Africa has approved the immediate issuance of 5-year-visas to Nigerians who travel to South for business, job and career purpose.


This was made known in Lagos today by South Africa’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lulu Mnguni.

Mnguni said SA approved the visa issuance to get rid of the difficulties usually faced by Nigerians when seeking South African visas.

,,,,,,,, Sorry for the late reply, I entered with a visiting visa and after it expires I applied for a marriage permit that will expire in five years, due the situation is very hard now, our guys had fu... Cked up everything things now

"Our guys bleeped up"are you sure you not one of them based on "marriage permit ".

princecharles100:
Hey, please guys, I have been here for years, honestly I will never advice my worst enemy to come here

I have been busy for while to respond to your "wonderful advice" . What have you been doing over the years ?With due respect sir you came in with visitor visa and after it expired you got spousal visa under false marriage for 5years and you expect things not to be hard?It is 20times better to pursue postgraduate studies in South Africa than Nigeria .Virtually all SA Universities give scholarship in one form or the other and you can teach in schools around especially the sciences.It seems you came in without adequate information ,If you entered SA through backdoor or without definite plans of course things will be hard .

oduzbaba89:
i want to apply to teaching jobs in sa how do i go about it, thanks

What qualification do you have or do you have special skills ?Let hear from you from there i give my view

stevetop:
You might have a chance provided you can come up with a proposal that addresses an important issue - better still an area that hasn't been too well researched. Another clue is to lookout for the research interests of lecturers in schools of your choice, it might give you some clues as to what will interest them. I know Stellenbosch has a page where they host completed theses, you can download and read some- it helps to shape your critical thinking and the formulation of tenable research questions.

All the Best.

You made a valid point

davoo009:

Do I av a chance of getting admission or I shud do honours 1st.... I must be sincere am thinking of a research proposal, I don't av a proposal yet

.You need a research proposal for Masters.The quality of the proposal determine if the school will take you or not for masters .

geekybabe:
segzy201 and others who can help.. pls kindly help out. I have a very big challenge.

I've been trying to secure a school for my msc (research) for over 6months now, but I have not been successful.

I have applied at almost all S.A. good schools. when I started d process I never expected it to be this hard because I have alot of pple over there who got admission without stress.

I have had saqa certificate for almost a year now. so Saqa is not the problem. I studied computer engineering.

uct, stellenbosch, up, all said i have to do honors. I can't afford dat after spending over 5years studying engineering in schl

Rhodes.. and unizulu said they can't take me cos of my 3.21 undergraduate cgpa

wits.. I spent 5months communicating back and forth with

The problem is not your CGPA though some schools said it is low ,you need to write quality proposal that will attract potential supervisors,Unfortunately many students can not take time to write a good proposal .Sister check your proposal again and resubmit .I know a lady with the same 3.2 like yours and she was admitted for Masters(Mech.Engeering).

Kimsunh:
I was just denied the South Africa visa even after I paid for hotel at the rate of 30k naira. They said my document is not genuine of which it is genuine. Pls do hotels in South Africa refund bookings after visa is denied? Thank you

Next time dont pay for hotels when visas are not issued.

staggerlee:
Bros, I was going to introduce him to ibo traders and presently they charge 30 naira, I can swear that the guy didn't do it at 22 naira to a rand even banks won't charge u that. I have assisted someone here getting his police report. I will gladly assist anyone here, but when it concerns money. Lailai, I can't. I can only give tips.

bros KEEP SWEARING his problem has been solved @22 rate.You never mention that you will introduced him to traders until his problem was solved.You never mention that you do not deal with faceless forum when it involves money until he got it @22 I CAN SAY BOLDLY NO BANK CHARGES AT 26 though there is fluctuation but NEVER AT 26

[quote author=staggerlee post=43537783]Good for U, I don't have Nigerian accounts functioning anymore cos of BVN, will get it done next month when I visit Lagos. As u all know rands is very volatile, when I said 26 it was last weekend. Ecobank charged someone I was with at mug and bean woodmed 26.3 rands, and someother guy took uba last weekend too at 25.9 to a rand via his GTB card. Stop Contradicting yourself bros be straightforward at a point you want to change at 26 later you said you don"t help when it involves money

staggerlee:
I use ecobank and access bank and they both work

Learn to be straightforward in life .Here you said you used Ecobank and Access bank in another post you said you do not use Nigerian Atm

staggerlee:
Don't mind the guy let him be looking for cheaper price and let them swerve him, I was going to introduce him to traders that trade in both Naira and Rands to assist him

Learn to be civil when people need your help .

TokyoBulls:
Thanks to @SamuelUMOH, I successfully paid the R4,000 yesterday. I paid into the account provided on Tuesday night and the recipient in SA got the funds on Wednesday morning. Rate of Exchange was also good. R1 = N22

bros thank God .We are here to assist one another

segzy201:

You can include bank statement of sponsor if the scholarship value is not stated but if the amount is written no need balance statement.

staggerlee:
Ask any one who swipes his naija card here in SA how much they charge? A friend used uba with his gtb card registered to his uba, he was charged 19 to 1, a day later, gtb sent him a mail and reversed the transaction that they used the wrong exchange rate and now charged him @ 25.9 to a rand. Another person paid at Mug and Bean, with his ecobank atm he was charged 26.3 to a rand.
Someone else used her zenith Atm in New york, she was charged 295 to a dollar (this was 3 weeks ago)

But when you look at the exchange rate via google you will see 196 to $1 or 12.3 to R1. So bro find another means mehn. You can talk to aboki's to do a transfer for u

I swipe also in SA but not 26 ,that is very high .I thought this forum is to help one another.

afolakemi:
You can only use Ecobank MasterCard or Visacard in South Africa and their limit for cash and swiping is $100

False ,Access bank and Zenith working smoothly .

xtonuns:

staggerlee:
NWU have been closed indefinitely, I wonder y u guys are still coming to SA for studies with all these protests in Ubiversities

Don't discourage people from making a move that may change their destinies .are the strikes forever ?Capital N0 IS this first students protest in SA ?no Strikes or no Strikes Let people apply to schools of the choices after all some schools are not part of the strike.

wine4dguy:

oyimaliski:
Please . I am applying for a second time. I got the first one and back too.

Is it a drop box?

The same method for the first one

Diamond1960:
Can applicant use two different sponsors bank statement for visa application? A situation where two parties are ready to use their bank statement for a particular visa applicant ( study visa).

One bank statement is okay and 1 MILLIONnaira is enough for study visa
