Woman outraged over graduates earning KSh 43k
Zizi Dlamini opened up about how she couldn’t believe the company she’d had an interview with was only willing to offer her KSh 43,000 despite having a degree.
She expressed how her transport money would require half of that amount, and she couldn’t accept the offer, especially because a lot of money had gone into her education and the cost of living was high.
