Dreams of being a pillar in his community
Abdu-Shakoor A., from Grassy Park, is the top-performing matriculant and Valedictorian for the class of 2022. He achieved five subject distinctions and will be studying Civil Engineering at Stellenbosch University. Abdu-Shakoor started his schooling career at a public school where he explains things were tough as he shared a classroom with over 60 other children. After winning the local GrowSmart educational competition, he joined Christel House SA in Grade 6 where he was more comfortable in a class with 30 students. Abdu-Shakoor is one of six siblings. He says, "I might come from a humble background where I face many challenges, but I have supportive parents and a school that makes sure I have the best resources and dedicated teachers.

I want to be a hero and pillar to those who need one.”
