I am completing my MBA Operations in South Africa at North West University this year but unfortunately I could not settle my last year's account due to financial crisis that I am in (self-sponsored student). I managed to pay R14,350 and R4,350 is still outstanding therefore, they will not register me. I tried a lot of possible sources but failed to secure anything. I am given until 23rd February 2009 to settle my account and even now as I am writing this, I still do know what to do. This is something like $450. Can anyone anywhere help me, I am so frustrated?

you should maybe try and get a loan from a bank - sometimes, if they see that you are completing a program which will, in the future, help you get payed better, they will be inclined to give you a loan for a few years.
