Tertiary institution: Emeris University, Port Elizabeth
Field of study: 4 year-BCom Strategic Management
We would like to introduce you to Bernice Manu who joined the Born in Africa program in 2025, together with her younger sister Peace. Bernice completed her high school career at Wittedrift High school that same year. During her final year of high school, we enrolled Bernice at Huis Kritzinger, the high school hostel where she was able to work on becoming independent enough to embark on her tertiary journey which began in 2026. Bernice then commenced her 4-year Bachelor in Commerce degree in Strategic Management at the renowned Emeris University in Port Elizabeth. Her family lives in Kwanokuthula, on the outskirts of Plettenberg Bay. Her parents run a hair salon from the front of their home. During weekends and holidays, Bernice always helped both her parents at the salon. This wonderful skill, she has transformed into a lucrative hobby. We are incredibly proud to represent Bernice as her sponsors, mentors, and biggest fans during her tertiary studies. We know that she will make us as well as her parents incredibly proud.
