Durban - Firday saw IEB matriculants celebrating at schools as they gathered to share their results, with many of the top pupils saying they saw a bright future for South Africa and wanted to give back to the country.
Thabiso Dlamini, 2020 deputy head boy of Hilton College who achieved seven distinctions, said from his home in Hammarsdale on Friday: I was fortunate that so many gave so much to me. Not many kids get the opportunity to go to Hilton and I just wanted to take that opportunity with both hands and be an example to other children to show them they can succeed, no matter where they came from, he said, adding that his background had given him an inner desire to succeed.
