Vuyisile Kubeka
Vuyisile is passionate about South African media, film and entertainment and telling stories that young South Africans can relate to. She graduated BA(Hon) Media Theory and Practice.
About 4 months after graduation, she got an internship at Independent Media as a Digital Intern and she is still at the company, working as an SEO Content Specialist.
She explains how her degree helped her, “I have learned to seek and apply a deeper understanding in whatever that I am doing. Interrogate what has been put before me”.
The advice she has to give incoming students is “Take your time, it’s a marathon and not a sprint. Your mental health is very important. Seek help when you need it. Imposter syndrome within the academic world I very real, just remember that you are there for a reason and you wouldn’t be accepted if you did not qualify”.
