Econet scholarship beneficiaries off to Star Leadership Academy Econet scholarship beneficiaries off to Star Leadership Academy
Staff Reporter
FOUR academically gifted children recently completed their LGCSE or O-level education will this week leave the country for a one-year programme at the Star Leadership Academy (SLA) in Zimbabwe under Econet Telecom Lesotho’s HigherLife Foundation.
The scholarship caters for current HigherLife Foundation beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries as long as they are academically brilliant.
Katleho Mokhele from St Stephen’s High School in Mohale’s Hoek and Lebohang Kome from Dahon High School in Berea have been under the HigherLife scholarship while Refiloe Makhakhe from Butha-Buthe High School and Selumeli Thulo from Hope High School in Mafeteng were selected for the programme.
Thankfully, she never mustered the courage to go through with the act.
And when she informed her boyfriend that she was pregnant, he was excited and even suggested marrying her.
“I didn’t want to get married because I still wanted to go back to school,” she says.
Eventually ’Mamphethe had to drop out of school to look after her baby. She says her pregnancy was not an easy one.
“I got sick often so I couldn’t concentrate in class,” she says, adding that after giving birth she thought things would be much easier.
“As a daughter-in-law, I am still expected to do house chores even though I haven’t fully recovered. I hardly rest because my baby hardly sleeps at night.”
