Rural schoolgirl wins car, bursary as Mpumalanga's top matriculant

“I make a living by selling vegetables and clothes but now that she has performed well, the burden has been lifted off my shoulders. She was gifted with money, a car and all what she needs at school and the bursary tops it all because I could not have been able to take her to university myself as I don't have money.

“I didn't expect this and her brothers are shocked but she always showed signs of dedication to her school work. I'm the happiest mother. This is the first car in our home and it's coming from her,” said Nkambule. “I have been always putting my studies as top of my priority in 2022 and it has paid off.

“I'm very happy and equally shocked that I'm from a rural school but managed to beat learners from well positioned schools in terms of resources,” said Bathobile. MEC for education Bonakele Majuba said: “You will understand that the children had to battle challenges of load-shedding during studying and examination periods, protests from communities but they managed to get the [2%] improvement.”

Congratulations to her on her achievement. Very proud of her and Wish her all the vest in her territory education. Hopefully a driving school can teach her free of charge🤞
