Novuka could not wait for her upcoming graduation and expressed that she kept looking at her dress as a reminder of her excellent work:
“How I look at my graduation dress every morning because I was the only woman and black student in the BBusSci - Compsci class of 2024.”
Novuka explained just how difficult obtaining a Bachelor of Science specialising in Computer Science was at the University of Cape Town by saying:
“One of 14 survivors. I had no choice but to win.”
The youngster also made people understand that although it is a challenge getting into UCT, it’s an even bigger challenge to get out as many students have spent years at the institution trying to reach graduation after failing numerous times.
Novuka even wrote on her TikTok bio:
“UCT survivor.”
The lady also shared:
“Yeah, that degree is brutal and took my people in the second year.”
