AN Ulundi mother of eight and grandmother of 35 graduated from a basic adult literacy course yesterday at the age of 86.

"Although it's extremely late in my life, I'm happy that I have an education. I thought I was going to die illiterate," said Pauline Zulu.

Zulu, who was among 6 000 people who graduated from the education department's Masifundisane adult literacy programme, said having a basic education had given her new life.
