According to a media statement, the event attended by the Amajuba District Mayor Cllr. Ndabuko Zulu and the Speaker of Council Cllr. S.O. Zulu, was held to congratulate Sinakhokonke, the school’s teachers and to inspire the class of 2023 to follow in her footsteps.
Sinakhokonke has defied all odds by getting eight distinctions, placing her in second place under (Quintile 4) schools nationally and third in KZN. The Mayor has applauded her for being instrumental in making Amajuba one of Northern Kwazulu Natal’s top performing areas.
In a national news publication, Sinakhokonke expressed difficulties she had to overcome and her surprise at her results.
“When I saw my results, I could not believe that I could get 100% in accounting because I had been struggling with it during the year. Matric was very hectic for me because of the limited time and having to be at school for seven days,” she said.
Sinakhokonke has received a Vice Chancellor’s Blue Carpet Scholarship to pursue her dream to study medicine at the University of Cape Town.
