My name is Zakiyyah Haffejee. I am a 26-year-old South African architecture graduate. ​​I am currently studying an MA Architecture at The Royal College of Art in London. The work I have produced thus far has received positive feedback and I look forward to continuing my research and developing it further. Unfortunately, I am still short on funds to continue onto the second semester and will be at risk of having my registration suspended. 

​

The semester fee is £14 500 (Approximately R300 000 South African Rands). While I do realise that this is a significant amount of money; this is an incredible opportunity that I would hate to let go of.

​

I am boldly turning to you for help; hopeful that you may be able to assist me in any way possible or steer me in the direction of someone who could.

The Royal College of Art is currently the leading school for art and design and has been ranked number 1 in the world for 6 consecutive years. It strongly upholds the idea of redefining the norm, it takes an exciting approach to architecture and is innovative in the way students are taught. Studying at the RCA will offer me invaluable experience and allow me to continue to evolve as an architect.

A little background about me...

I graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor of Technology in Architecture (Applied Design) from the University of Johannesburg. In the last few months of my studies, I took up a position at Johannesburg-based practice, Counterspace Studio. During my time with Counterspace, I participated in the design and technical phases of the Serpentine Pavilion 2020/2021, as well as the design development of the Church Square regeneration project in Pretoria and various exhibitions & social media campaigns with the Graduate School of Architecture at the University of Johannesburg as well as for the Bernard Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at the City University of New York. My most recent involvement has been for a start-up called TakeAway Spaces, which aims to provide low-cost alternate housing solutions in South Africa. At present, I am working alongside Dr. Huda Tayob and Bongani Kona in a project with the Goethe-Institut Johannesburg titled ‘The Archive of Forgetfulness.’
