- Larry Bentley

BY the time the eShowe High School 2022 dux was announced at the academic prizegivin­g last week, it was clear there could be only one winner - Lungelo Gwala.

Besides the Reeves Trust Dux award, he also received trophies and prizes for five subjects, as well as the Three Sciences award.

Runner-up to the dux award was Amahle Mhlongo, who also received awards for accounting and physical science.

The guest speaker was eShowe High School 2002 matric learner, Khaya Sithole who, having had a difficult early life, made his mark as an academic, activist, radio broadcaste­r and writer.

After completing his articles at the University of KZN, he went on to lecture there, as well as at Wits and UCT.

He completed his post-graduate studies at the Said Business School, Oxford University and has just received his MSc in finance and accounting from the Queen Mary University of London.

He was awarded an Atlantic Fellowship for Racial Equity from the Columbia University and Nelson Mandela Foundation in 2020.
