Nsindane says:

"I also once had an accident on my way to Pretoria from KZN. Upon inspection of the internal cameras, the employer found that I was studying when I was supposed to be sleeping. So, unfortunately, I was fired immediately."

Nsindane wasn't granted permission by his employer to attend his graduation ceremony in KZN, but that didn't stop the father of four boys to attend, in his work outfit no less.

He says:

"I came with a work truck as they refused to grant me the day off to attend the graduation ceremony."
