Co Incident, my kid wanted to study BA Visual Arts at Maties and her application failed. Like in rugby we have a qouta system going at universities and Maties being a traditional Afrikaans one, even more so. My kid got 90% for art in her previous exams and surely a A candidate in Arts for her matrix exams and also win the Art prize at Paarl Gym , well I sure could not understand this one. She specialize in print making and have a passion for art. She could go to Osfontein, we had it all organised but no she want to go to Maties and dont want to be that far from home and have to settle for her second choise.
Regarding the boyfriends, I do have aymphaty for her, not easy for one to get past a dad, that know to "kapater a ram" , cut a male sheep balls out and a bigger brother that have the same frame as Thomo.
Anyway good luck with your one.
