Blessing Mmbengeni, University of South Africa (Unisa) student:
“Studying is less effective because we do not have anyone to explain when we do not understand something. We can’t even use libraries. Some of us struggle to study because of all the noise and disturbances . I am studying Forensic Science and Technology in my third year and I use a lot of the internet to download tutorial videos. But what about those who do not have android smart phones or who cannot access to internet?”
