Here is an inspiring quote from our Tyali Emihle, a BA Honours in History graduate 🎓.

"Studying History at UJ taught me that the past shapes who we are, but hard work and clear priorities shape who we become.

The journey isn’t easy—there will be late nights, tough moments, and self-doubt—but it’s all worth it in the end.

Don’t compete with anyone but yourself. Grow, improve, and keep showing up. Your story is just as important as the ones you study." - Tyali Emihle
