David Gosher, 18, of King David High School in Linksfield, Johannesburg, had to overcome dyslexia as he managed to achieve six distinctions in his Independent Examinations Board (IEB) matric results.
“From a young age I came through my entire schooling through remedial schooling. I am dyslexic but I work very hard and to get to my matric I had to work extra hard,” Gosher said.
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty in reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Also called reading disability, dyslexia affects areas of the brain that process language.

Johannesburg – The trial of Islamic State-linked twins Tony-Lee and Brandon-Lee Thulsie was expected to start on Thursday after endless postponements dragged the case for five years.
Last week only the case was postponed twice due to the prosecutor’s ill health and the twins lawyers arguing that the matter should be heard in the regional court and not high court.
The twins have not set foot outside prison since their arrest in July 2016 during raids in Newclare and Azaadville.
The pair was arrested following allegations they were linked to the jihadist group Islamic State, the two have never stepped foot outside prison.
