Head girl and top academic achiever of Nigel High School Zanele Zwane obtained five distinctions in the 2015 matric results, namely Afrikaans (84%), Physical Science (80%), Mathematics (83%), Accounting (89%) and Business Studies (82%). She is set on becoming a chartered accountant and has been enrolled for a B Com Accounting Science degree at the University of Pretoria, where she will also commence an honours degree after three years.
“The prelim exam was an eye opener for me. I was dissatisfied with my marks and worked really hard for the final exam. But without the support from my teachers, my parents and my friend Sylvester Machaba, I could not have done it,” Zanele said.
Although Zanele studied hard for her final exam, she kept a healthy balance between learning and her social life.
