Benoni High School learner Zayanah Laher recently entered the South African Schools Debating Board (SASDB) and Centre for Sexualities, Aids and Gender (CSA&G) writing competition.
Her essay on gender-based violence was selected for publication.
Zayanah recently achieved the Diamond Award and placed 30th in South Africa at the De Beers English Olympiad.
The theme for this year’s competition was gender-based violence in South Africa.
SASDB and CSA&G organisers received several excellent entries and selected 30 entries for the book to be published.
They had to consider the style and tone of the book and selected a diversity of short stories, opinion pieces, essays and poems.
An award ceremony will be hosted in February where every author will receive either a bronze, silver or gold award for their entry.
