15-year-old twins from Buhlebemfundo Secondary School in Durban will represent SA at the Stockholm Junior Water Prize in Sweden.
The 15-year-old twins emerged victorious at the 2024 National South African Youth Water Prize Competition held at the Xylem Water Solutions Offices in Kempton Park, Gauteng, on Friday, 7 June.
The final competition culminated months of hard work and dedication from young water and sanitation enthusiasts nationwide. The duo also walked away with prizes, including R15 000 each, tickets to Sweden, laptops, a first-place trophy, a R10 000 allowance, and bursaries to further their education at the university of their choice.
“We feel super excited, and we are so emotional right now. We are so grateful to the teachers, mentors, and everybody who has supported us and our family so far,” the duo said.
