Gugulethu Khoza of Sibusisiwe Secondary School in Matsulu could not contain his excitement when a team of journalists, his neighbours and officials from the department of education congratulated him as one of the top 10 matric learners in the province.
“I think I have done very well. I put in much effort in my studies during our group studies with my friends both at home and at school. I dedicated most of my time to my books since the beginning of 2017 because I aimed to pass my exams to improve my home. I just forgot everything around me to focus on my studies,” he said
.
“I still think this is a dream, I still can’t believe at this moment that this is happening,” he said on Wednesday.
