In other inspiring Briefly News Lungelo Dube has described her journey towards finally obtaining her Master's degree as a 'never-ending roller-coaster'. The stunner has a real passion for nature conservation and so chose to focus her studies on human-wildlife conflict resolution, a field of study not always easy to find financial aid for.
Luckily, Dube got some assistance back in 2018 and started her Master's journey with the help of the GreenMatter Fellowship programme, which aims to lend a helping hand to passionate environmental students just like her.
To her generous sponsors at GreenMatter, she had this to say: "I'm eternally grateful for Janavi Da Silva and Dr John Hanks for their never-ending support and always going the extra mile for me. Not only did they encourage me, but they fought for me. I'll never forget the massive contribution they made for this very moment."
