Life After Matric

The results are out. Some made it. Many didn't. Now what? In this episode of Makhanda Diaries, we step into the real, unfiltered lives of young people in Makhanda navigating life after high school. Through raw audio diaries from learners at Assumption Development Centre, honest street stories from those inside the system and those left outside, and a candid conversation with a counsellor about the emotional toll no one mentions, we explore the anxiety, the hope, the fear, and the hustle. This is not a fairytale. This is what happens when Plan A fails, when the money isn't there, and when you're sitting at home while your friends are in lectures. If you've ever asked yourself "What now?" this one is for you.
