In a report by The Herald, Nciweni graduated with a qualification in Corrections Management, a field that prepares students to work with offenders in correctional facilities and help them rebuild their lives after crime. The course focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment, with graduates learning how to support offenders as they reintegrate into society. The publication also states that Nciweni emphasized that she hopes to work with juvenile offenders, helping young people turn their lives around and avoid returning to crime.

Nciweni described her academic results as exceeding her expectations after she counted 11 distinctions among her final marks, making the qualification one of her biggest personal achievements.

Childhood experiences inspired her career path

The Herald stated that in an exclusive interview with BabyYumYum, Nciweni explained that growing up in a township influenced her decision to study Corrections Management. Vuyokazi said she witnessed many young people leave school, become involved in drugs and crime, and eventually end up in correctional facilities. She said those experiences inspired her to pursue a qualification that would allow her to help rehabilitate young offenders and support them as they rebuild their lives. She added that she was also drawn to the course because it incorporates aspects of social work, giving her an opportunity to contribute positively to communities.
