From being a car guard to becoming a graduate- Fabrice Kapya

Fabrice Kapya earned R2000 monthly as a car guard at WonderPark Mall to fund his engineering studies at the University of Pretoria.

Recently he was appointed assistant lecturer in the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering at UP. He’s also a PhD candidate in the subject

Sharing his story, Kapya said he left his home in the Democratic Republic of Congo and sought asylum in South Africa in 2018.

He obtained his first degree in chemical engineering from the University of Likasi in the DRC and struggled to pay for his studies after his dad died.

“After my father’s death, we lost practically everything. His family took everything from us, but through the generosity of friends who volunteered to finance my studies, I obtained this degree,” he said

“I used every single coin I earned at Wonderpark mall to pay for my studies. I was studying in the parking lot with my student card around my neck. I stayed strong even though I could not feel my legs or my waist, even though my body was sore,” Kapya.
