OUR TOP PERFORMING STUDENT
RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY Asekho N from Langa is our top-performing matriculant and the Valedictorian for the class of 2021. She achieved six distinctions and will be studying towards a Bachelor of Law (LLB) degree at Stellenbosch University. Asekho has faced numerous challenges, including the passing of her mother in 2019 and grandmother in 2021. She currently lives with her elderly father and even though she is responsible for cooking and cleaning at home, she still found the time to study.
“I faced many challenges in my matric year, including not being able to study at home because electricity was an issue. The onsite accommodation and support provided by Christel House SA really helped me. I also got so much support from the social workers and teachers at Christel House SA and am really thankful.” – Asekho N, Christel House SA 2021 Valedictorian
