About

Nobody protested and demanded that music must be free, but then Napster came along and transformed the music industry forever. Today we have Khan Academy and other mass open online education sites leading the way in free education. It is highly unlikely that tertiary education in South Africa will ever be free, but we can dream about that day. Dreaming about it will not lead to change. Change comes from those that willing to do more than they are paid to do. Education in South Africa can be free; if we want to make it free.

I am Etienne Botes and I love to study! I am an addict and this site was started to help with my addiction. My first degree was a Bachelor in Physiotherapy which I completed in 2004. I then went on to complete a Masters in Business Administration in 2011. After this I started a Bachelor of Accounting Sciences in Financial Accounting at Unisa which I obtained in 2014, with distinction. 

During 2015 I will be attempting my CTA and doing my first year of SAICA articles. I will update the site as much as possible during 2015 as time will be limited and focused mainly on my own studies. It is a work in progress. Please request content on bcomalive@gmail.com and I will do my best to do a presentation on the topic.

 I wish you all the best with your studies. 

"We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants. We see more, and things that are more distant, than they did, not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours."
