By YANDISWA VARA, Makana Local Municipality Executive Mayor
Congratulations to the Class of 2022 for their outstanding results. We are very proud of what they have achieved, and we wish them well in the future. I’m sure the past few weeks of anticipating the results have been tough on all of you.
As we celebrate those who have done well, it is essential to consider those who have not passed matric. I would like to encourage all learners who have not achieved their goals not to give up. Failing matric is not the end of the road; there are many options. To the parents, please support your children during this difficult chapter; they need you now more than ever.
