My friend Peet was turned away when applying for a university grant for his son because he was told he was not "Black enough" to qualify.

I have a South African friend who like many families in South Africa is struggling financially. My good colleague, Peet a respectful and hounourable husband and father is trying to get his children through university in the Western Cape ,(South Africa.

Peet coming from a socially disadvantaged background because of the Apartheid system of government prior to 1994, should be entitled to financial help from the South African government to help get his son, Pernell through university, however when Peet applied for a grant he was turned away because he was apparently not "Black enough"

Peet and his family are regarded as Coloured or people of mixed race and they find themselves trapped in this terrible social political trap of being labeled black sometimes and then being labelled as not Black enough other times.

I am trying to raise funds to help Peet get his son Pernell through university. Please donate as little as £5, $5 or any Rand or Euro donation.

Please Help Pernell or if you cannot at least share this fundraising appeal to a friend or business colleague. It will only take 10 seconds to forward it to someone or make a donation.

Thank you
