Am asking for your help Mr Nzimande. Am a woman doing learnership at Maponya motors. My problem is that. I graduated 2016 for engineering studies. The blockage was that apprenticeship could not fund me cos of my age, was 36 years than. Only this year that I had opportunity to find learnership for the year. Very frustrated of knowing that am going to be at home again doing nothing. Can any of your organization help me to land me apprenticeship funding. Am 42 years now. Can I have a chance to achieve my goals and dreams. Thank you very much.

Minister may I know the reason why some children's funds were stopped,cos I have a problem with my grandson's funds which were stopped reason being that the money is for those who don't have. His parents are divorced divorced, so the mother is the only one working,taking care of 3kids,bond & other things in the house.The husband left her with debts & only support grant is given,so I want to know should this child leave school because of funds not being available. ?He is the 1st year student at University of Johannesburg Johannesburg. Kindly assist on what to do or the child doesn't gualify?
