Grandt Damons
GEORGE NEWS - Two former learners of Eden Technical High School (PW Botha College at the time) are prime examples of the fact that there is a lot of potential in George.
To inspire others in this difficult time of Covid-19, Grandt Damons (22) and Devon-John Swart (30) wanted to tell their stories to show that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
Both came from humble beginnings, but that did not prevent them from dreaming big and working hard to achieve their dreams.
Devon-John has sidestepped death three times. At two years old he almost drowned and when he was 10 he accidentally gassed himself, but survived. The third instance happened when he was playing in a swimming pool with friends who threw him into the water. He landed on his head and was unconscious for two days with a brain hemorrhage.
