The event organisers showed no mercy to the latecomers and proceeded to entertain the guests who arrived on time. Londiwe was emotional and cried her eyes out after realising she missed the chance to kneel before the Vice Chancellor and walk across the stage to collect her qualification.

Luckily, she had company. Her friend took stellar pictures of her in her regalia, and they waited for the ceremony to end before she could collect her certificate and go home.
