Celeb Twitter Round-Up: Tweeps React to Phindile Gwala’s Graduation

May 15, 2024

It’s always great to see people taking it upon themselves to pursue their passions and dreams, including embarking on educational courses that require a huge amount of dedication and perseverance.

Actress Phindile Gwala is one of those peeps who can say that she’s reached a major milestone in her life – taking to Instagram on Tuesday, 14 May, the “Blessers” star showed just how blessed she was:

“This has been a long road,” she wrote in the caption. “The milestone achieved, I am greatful [sic] and to God be the glory for His mercies endures forever. Today I am a Bachelor of Commerce Graduate [sic] with 10 distinctions.”

Specifically, Gwala graduated with a BCom in Entrepreneurship from Mancosa, a Cape Town-based private higher education institution known for offering accredited courses in various fields.

Over on Twitter/X, peeps congratulated Gwala on her academic achievements:

Of course, in pure Mzansi Twitter fashion, the good will didn’t last TOO long – some folks were quick to scoff at Gwala’s new degree, which they reckoned was acquired illegitimately:

Meanwhile, others were of the none-too-humble opinion that Mancosa wasn’t a real university/college, and that anyone could get a degree from them in a snap:

Which prompted equally spicy responses like these:

Maybe Mzansi Twitter needs a crash course in manners before embarking on university degrees, hey?

But anyway, join us in congratulating Phindile Gwala on her new degree!
