What a breath of fresh air. So good to see young entrepreneurs from South Africa doing so well. Good luck with your venture.

That will help you to suceed in SA but unfortunately not everyone has the personality to do so. In awe of her gutzpah !!

Her book is on LIbby been reading it. Most inspiring. You go girl. Grahamstown used to have something similiar but sadly was not connected to Rhodes Uni so was a hard struggle many years ago to find suitable accommodation. 1st Year is so overwhelming anyway then to try and find somewhere safe and close without transport was a challenge. Getting into Res was hard as well. I as the parent, did all that for my 1st year student son through his 5 year stretch and hired and battled with the subletting issues, and agents and alarm companies etc. I also lived in Mowbray and provided accom/ a room in my now vacant room for UCT students and that was equally challeging trying to find a student. There was no registry. This is so necessary and sure that NSFAS are/were happy. Good for you Alexandria

An inspiring and energetic young woman! I was sad that Linda seemed a little uninspired :(
