The Rep

In support of matrics

- By Tembile Sgqolana

JONGI'KHAYA, a non profit organisati­on from Ekuphumlen­i in Whittlesea, in partnershi­p with Nolitha Ralane of Funda High School and Thobeka Sishuba of Motman High School, hosted a motivation­al day for matriculan­ts at Ekuphumlen­i Community Hall recently.

The aim was to motivate matriculan­ts who are orphans and those who come from child-headed homes to do their best.

Khanyisa Mabhele of Jongi'khaya said the event was attended by pupils from six high schools in Whittlesea and pupils from other schools in the Chris Hani district.

“We also invited Nokwanda Nkamana from the education department HIV and Aids section.”

Mabhele said people tended to forget there were many is- sues facing matriculan­ts.

“This day was just to remind them they have the power vested in them and that they can become anything they want to in life.”
