The junior winners of the competition in ascending order were:

Grade 9 learner, Lehlogonolo Ramoshaba said her speech was inspired by a musician’s song.
“What inspired my speech today was the song Only if by Steve Lacy which was written during my exams which is why it focused on the academic side of things. I started public speaking last year in Grade 8, and I have grown since.”
Ramoshaba said public speaking had helped her become more confident and improved her self-esteem.
She noted her main challenge was juggling public speaking with her schoolwork because it took time to write and practise a speech.
