A Johannesburg-based lady recently graduated with her third Masters degree but said she felt "so sad."

Writing on Twitter, Nomfundo Ngcobo said getting so many qualifications made her feel "over-privileged" and as if she had stolen from other people's dreams.

She therefore wished that "everybody who wants an education can get it."

Her unusual sentiment caught the eye of her followers, who nevertheless congratulated her and urged her not to feel that way.
