This is what I came to this morning in the journalism lab. Then Funi my neighbour came and I felt a bit better. Photo: Nolwazi Mjwara

This morning I rushed to school to meet a classmate for an interview. I arrived to an empty newsroom. The only thing that was missing was tumbleweed to complete the scene.
It seems that everyone was out on the field, considering that today was the third last day before the end of research.
Thankfully Funi came later and I had a neighbour again.
I was all prepared for my shoot today at the Wits language school. I had al my shots and questions ready.
I even arrived 30 minutes earlier to mingle with my sources a bit during lunch.
Then I was told that I could only film tomorrow as today there would not be much to film.
Slightly disheartened, I deliberately parked by the Origins centre to pass the South West engineering building where the Migration studies department resides.
I managed to get some assistance regarding figures as Fred suggested that I need figures on the growth of the population.
I went to the African Centre for Migration and Society at Wits and they put me into contact with a guest who spoke at one of their seminars. I have emailed her today and awaiting a response from her.
Busi was generous enough to share another academic source with her this afternoon. Ben Scully from the sociology department helped by giving us areas which we could expand on for a real in-depth story.
Busi the angel also invited me to another source who attended the Chinese school: Howard. He helped a great deal with further contextualising the story and sharing how the Chinese school helped him when his parents moved Here.
Here is a video of him sharing his favourite moments from his time at the school.
Howard and Busi for president!
This is Howard who shared his memories of being at the Chinese school. Photo: Nolwazi
