Limpopo-born educator crowned world’s best principal Share THE WORLD’S best principal grew up in the remote village of Sekhiming outside Giyani in Limpopo in the 1960s, where neighbours lived in a 1km radius from his father’s house. His father was a teacher and a principal, and everyone in the community looked up to him for help, such as writing letters to loved ones and solving community problems. “You are bound to make a success of yourself,” said 61-year-old Dr Ngwako Stephen Sebopetsa, winner of the Global Principal Award. Sebopetsa, principal at Rathaga Primary School in Rakwadu, Modjadjiskloof, outside Polokwane, beat more than 200 other talented principals from across the world to win the prestigious award.
