He was awarded a full bursary to do his master’s degree in Business Science at one of the top UK universities and where he completed his master’s cum laude.

“Kay Mason Foundation had a major impact on my life and the lives of my family. I am grateful to the KMF for the opportunity that I was given because I know that my parents would not have been able to give me the education that I received through the KMF.
“During this time I was exposed to other realities outside of my community and that was an eye opener for me. I had to adapt to the changes that were taking place and I had to make that transition, but it was manageable.” – Siyamthemba Mrawli
From everybody at KMF, we wish Siyamthemba all the best for the future.
He is a shining example of what happens when a young person with potential is given the necessary support to succeed in their studies.
