18-year-old Sazi Bongwe from Oaklands, Johannesburg, received confirmation of his admission to the Ivy League institution on Friday morning.

St John's College headboy Sazi Bongwe will soon be packing his bags to study at Harvard University.The headboy of St John’s College in Johannesburg, Sazi Bongwe, will be packing his bags for the US after being accepted to study at the prestigious Harvard University.

Bongwe, who achieved distinctions in all nine subjects in the matric preliminary exams, has qualified for a “need-based financial aid” programme from Harvard. “As someone who often struggles to say this, I am proud of myself. A lot went into this and it all feels worth it. But this achievement isn’t mine alone. I’m deeply grateful to everybody who has been a part of this, my family most of all,” he said.

“More significantly was the academics. For many of the degrees within the social sciences, particularly the three I listed, Harvard is, if not the best, then one of the best, in those spaces.” “There’s a very big sense of a genuine, close-knit community. You have people who are very passionate about what they do.”

William R Fitzsimmons, dean of admissions and financial aid at Harvard, said the committee on admissions voted to offer Bongwe admission “because we believe you will make important contributions to others during your college years and beyond”.
