A young man showed that good things come to those who put in the effort when he received three bursaries.
Jones Mphahlele, an accounting graduate from North-West University (NWU), shared the news with social media users via his TikTok account (@jonesmphahlele).
Sitting at a desk with thick textbooks with coloured sticky tabs, a smiling Jones wrote in his video:

In his caption, Jones noted that two bursaries were from NWU and one from the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA).

What should you do if you get multiple bursaries?
According to Bursaries South Africa, having multiple bursaries is often discouraged for fear of legal consequences. Although, if conducted ethically, it may be permitted.
The information hub adds:
"In some instances, bursary funding may be a capped amount and may not be enough to cover all your necessary expenses as a student. In this instance, another form of funding may be needed to cover the remaining costs."
Bursaries South Africa further advised individuals to disclose the information of other bursaries they may have obtained with their potential or current bursary provider "to avoid any fraudulent behaviour or criminal consequences."
