We Celebrate two Incredible Matriculants!
This morning we were joined by two incredible Matric pupils. Nthabiseng and Keith achieved greatness and are able to boast with many distinctions even though they both underwent a few difficulties over the past year.
This morning we were joined by Nthabiseng Xashimba who comes from Katlehong. She matriculated from St Martins. Not only did she pass her Matric with 7 distinctions, she also has the most incredible story to share. Coming from impoverishment, Nthabiseng still managed to achieve this incredible result.
Well done on this incredible achievement, Nthabs!
Also on air this morning we were joined by another Matric pupil that excelled greatly. Keith Venter is a 18 year old student from Trinity House School in Randpark Ridge. Keith received 5 distinctions with his highest mark being 91%. What makes this even more impressive is the fact that Keith had to do this while having missed countless days of school due to treatment for cancer, namely Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Keith spent 6 months undergoing chemotherapy.
Well done, Keith!
