    Fifty Khutliso Daniels Secondary School pupils received academic achievement awards at the school assembly on Monday 15 April. Parents and grandparents – and even some of the teachers – shed tears of joy and pride as the top 10 pupils in each of grades 8-12 walked up to receive certificates and trophies sponsored by the Masiphumelele Family Support Centre. Many jumped up and on to the walkway of the school courtyard that served as a stage, and hugged and kissed their children.

    “This is in addition to our big end-of-the-year prizegiving,” said Principal Radio Mcuba. “We wanted to introduce something that would provide ongoing motivation, and so from now on, we will be holding these Top 10 awards every term.”

    The Masiphumelele Family Support Centre is a section of the Apostolic Faith Mission Church which supports community youth development activities or projects and families. They sponsored the Top 10 prizes for the learners.

    The church’s Reverend Buyisile Kutu was there to support the joyful occasion.
