Mathabatha urged learners to remember and be guided by the words of former President Nelson Mandela who said that education is the great engine of personal development. “It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can become the head of the mine that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation,” he quoted.
