How this mother of 3 self funded her studies, worked full time & at 35 qualified as a CA(SA)

• Hi, I am Asanda Ngcikiza, a Chartered Accountant from South Africa.
• I was born in a small town in Qumbu, Eastern Cape and it took me 10 long years with several detours in between to qualify as a CA(SA)!
• Here is my story of how I predominantly self-funded my studies and eventually became a CA at the age of 35 while juggling a full-time job and three kids as a single mother. 

My passion for accounting led me to my career as a CA

When I was in high school, I was quite an average child but, I really enjoyed accounting out of all the subjects.

My mother noticed my love for accounting and advised me to study for a B.Com Accounting degree and go the CA(SA) route and that is what I exactly did.
