Johan Fourie received his B.Acc. Hons. degree on Thursday 29 March 2012. Johan, who has multiple sclerosis, said he had had enough of studying for now. He joined the firm HRV Consulting Services Incorporated in Bloemfontein as a clerk this year and hoped to complete his apprenticeship during the next three years.

Regarding the greatest challenge during his years of study, Johan said it was a lot of work and very little time. When asked about the accessibility of classrooms, he said if a classroom was inaccessible, his lecturers would make a plan to move the class to another venue.

Here he is with Prof. Hendri Kroukamp, the Dean of the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, and his very proud mother, Mrs Annatjie Fourie.
