The headmaster of St Andrew’s College, Paul Edey, is delighted to announce that the St Andrew’s College/DSG Rhodes Scholarship has been awarded to Clive Eley as the scholar-elect for 2010.

The headmaster of St Andrew’s College, Paul Edey, is delighted to announce that the St Andrew’s College/DSG Rhodes Scholarship has been awarded to Clive Eley as the scholar-elect for 2010.

Clive was head boy of St Andrew’s College in 2005, the year of the Jubilee 150 celebrations. He was awarded academic and debating Honours, captained the first XI hockey team (for which he received colours) and played cricket for the First XI for which he also received colours.

He is a natural and talented actor, playing the lead in Noah and Percy Gilbert in Ingrid Wylde’s premiere production of Iron Love.

He obtained his BSc with distinctions in Chemistry and Mathematics at Rhodes University and achieved First Class credits in every course of his degree.

As a debater, Clive represented Rhodes at the World Universities Debating Championships in Bangkok, Thailand, as well as in Cork, Ireland.

He was awarded the Golden Key Chapter Award in 2007 for outstanding scholastic, sporting and cultural endeavour, and took up the role of community engagement officer.

His community engagement has been generous and extensive, involving the Khanya Maths and Science Club, repainting Samuel Ntsiko Junior School, the Grahamstown Hockey Development Programme and the Currie Street Courts Project.

Currently, Clive is involved in research for a B.Sc. Honours degree with the eminent Prof Tebello Nyokong (OMB) in which he is exploring the anti-cancer properties of phthalocyanines using photodynamic therapy.

Clive is looking to register for a DPhil research programme at Oxford University under Prof Edman Tsang which will pursue the development of novel nano-materials with bio-medical applications.

The St Andrew’s College and DSG Community warmly congratulate Clive on this momentous achievement and will follow his career at Oxford University with great pride and admiration.
