A Zimbabwean maid, Barbra Gurupira has shocked many people in South Africa including her own bosses after she completed her Law degree using domestic worker salary.

Her boss Tim Theron, a South African based actor took to Facebook to share the news of Gurupira’s achievement saying;

“This awesome lady is Barbra Gurupira. We found her through Sweepsouth when we were looking for someone to help us with the chaos in our house over the holidays. We were chatting about her family when she shared the following: She put herself through university by working as a domestic worker and completed her LLB in October of this year – she even had a few distinctions! But now she is desperately looking for a firm to do her articles at.

“She’s clearly a disciplined hard worker. After all, you don’t work AND study this hard if you’re not.

”Her English proficiency is impressive and it was clear that she has a good head on her shoulders. We got the impression that (together with her husband, who studied in a similar way to become an accountant) she is working with a goal in mind.

“Any attorneys/firms (preferably in the Cape) that might be willing to grant her an interview for a chance to complete her articles? Here’s your chance to give someone an opportunity that might make an incredible difference in a family’s life!
(For enquiries: We have all her information, as well as a transcript of her marks and qualification available.)”
