Yvonne Chaka Chaka, a well-known South African singer and songwriter, recently decided to pursue more schooling.
The Umqombothi hitmaker completed her honors degree in December 2023, just before her mother died away. She plans to continue her education.
According to the Daily Sun, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, the star of I’m In Love With The DJ, expressed gratitude for returning to school to get her honors degree. She currently wants to pursue a master’s degree, but she is confused whether she should.
She said:
“I went back to school because I sit on different boards, and some of them are international. If you go there and you’ve got no knowledge, it becomes a mission, and that’s what inspired me to do management practices and leadership. However, it was terrible. Academic writing is not easy, but I’m glad I did it.”
Yvonne also mentioned that if she decides to go back and study, it’ll mean for her to travel to England as some of the classes are being lectured there:
“I’m considering it. With my honours degree, I felt ready and decided to go for it, tackling the challenge head-on. It wasn’t easy, but I managed it. As an adult, the flexibility of different schedules and cohorts helps.
“However, this master’s degree takes 24 months because it’s from the University of Reading, which is part of Henley, a British university. You can study here, but some classes require travel to England. I need to decide if I really want to commit. The honours degree was intense, and while people say the master’s is slightly easier, I’m still unsure.”
