A CA (SA) is associated with someone who has considerable
expertise in the theory and practice of accounting
To become a CA you must,
obtain a Bachelor of Commerce,
obtain a Postgraduate Honours or Diploma in Accounting,
pass all those honors courses in one sitting,
pass two board exams, whilst completing a
three-year training contract.
It's the equivalent of a CPA in the US.
On the 27th of February 2015
I passed my second board exam, leaving the formality of wrapping up my articles
before becoming a CA (SA)
On results day we worked until about one O'Clock
PK and I are heading off to get get our results.
Yay, CAs in about... this is it... 3 hours.
I'm so scared.
and then headed over to a results lunch
where everyone was handling their nerves in their own way
Traditionally at my firm you would get you your results at the office
but I didn't have the courage to walk into a room with my name on the wall and
my future summerised by either a tick or a cross.
so some friends and I waited in the street outside the restaurant for our results text.
We have an idea what we're doing right now.
This is what nervousness looks like
Then Manqoba received a phone call from someone at the office before our text could arrive.
Yay!
I don't know what to do, I'm so happy.
PK... Phakamile Mhlongo
YEAH! *Screaming*
We did it guys.
I can't believe it.
I don't think I can drive.
Manqoba are you sure? Are you sure...
Yeah.
Oh my word.
It's finally over!
We made our way to the office immediately to celebrate with our friends
Marc!
I'm a 'Maadhir' ekse.
Where's your name?
*screaming*
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
yeah
Jazaeda
I'm a CA (SA).
*Music Begins*
I'm a CA

As most of my colleagues quenched their thirst,
those of us that don't drink as much headed to the beach to celebrate in our own way
Seven years ago I didn't want to do this qualification,
I wanted to study film.
But somehow I ended up doing this, and it's been hard.
there where times that I wanted to give up, there were times I failed, most of the time
I actually just spent
being angry with God for not letting me do what I wanted to do with my life
But God used this time.
I've learnt a lot,
about people, about business, about myself
and about God.
It's changed me and continues to change me
into you better, stronger person
and whilst I have no idea what my future holds
I'm pretty sure that this will be instrumental in whatever
happens next.
