Couple graduate together for second time

It's a double celebration for husband and wife, Siyamthemba Ncanywa and

Khwezikazi Maceba as they graduate together during tonight's ceremony for the Faculty of Informatics and Design.

And what makes their story more incredible is that the occasion marks the second time the couple are graduating together during the same ceremony.

In 2022 Siyamthemba was awarded an Advanced Diploma in Information Communication Technology in Multimedia Application while Khwezikazi was awarded a BTech in Information and Technology Management from CPUT.

Tonight they will both be awarded a postgraduate diploma in Information and Communication Technology.

"It is a wonderful feeling to graduate together because we push each other to succeed in whatever we do. This is another milestone and we will see you again on our master's graduation," said Khwezikazi.
They both hail from the Eastern Cape, Khwezikazi is from Engcobo and Siymthemba from Middledrift (Xesi).

"I come from a rural area where schools didn't have computers, but I was always fascinated when I saw actors hacking systems in movies," quipped Siyamthemba.
Khwezikazi said her interest in IT started in high school.

"In high school I used to spend my lunches in a computer lab. My Computer Application Technology teacher used to see and would talk to me about IT and I was clueless as I wasn't exposed to anyone with an IT degree. I started doing my own research about IT. I fell in love with IT."

She said their daughter was six months old when the couple graduated in 2022 "This year we are graduating again and we had our second-born on the 29^th of February."
Siyamthemba works for the City of Cape Town as a Problem Management Technical Lead while Khwezikazi works for Pepkor Payments and Lending as an IT Quality Test Analyst.
