Leeroy Chakanyuka onthou hoe hy as gr. 4-leerder sy geskiedenishandboek in \u2019n dag klaar gelees het en in gr. 5 sy wiskunde vooruit gedoen het sodat hy in die klas kon sit en lees terwyl sy klasmaats wiskundesomme uitwerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lees het Leeroy, die topmatrikulant van die Ho\u00ebrskool Franschhoek, se aanpassing in Suid-Afrika vergemaklik nadat hy op sewejarige ouderdom met sy gesin se verhuising van \u2019n Shona-skool in Zimbabwe na \u2019n Engelse skool in Franschhoek moes skuif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLees was nog altyd my grootste ontsnapping,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 18-jarige is Maandag 5 Februarie tydens die jaarlikse Toppresteerders-prysuitdeling van die Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit (KWDM) by Rhenish Girls\u2019 High School vereer. Hy het die spesiale burgemeesters\u00adtoekenning vir die mees veerkragtige leerder in die distrik ontvang. Di\u00e9 eer word toegeken aan \u2019n leerder wat \u2019n buitengewone prestasie ten spyte van uitdagende omstandighede lewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is in Zimbabwe gebore, maar my gesin moes \u2019n paar jaar later na Suid-Afrika verhuis,\u201d vertel Leeroy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het in Johannesburg leer isiXhosa praat. \u201cEk het daardie tyd baie Xhosa-vriende gehad, maar my Xhosa is nou \u2019n bietjie geroes,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As gevolg van omstandighede buite die gesin se beheer, moes Leeroy se familie in 2011 noodgedwonge terugtrek Zimbabwe toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy pa het ses maande later teruggetrek SA toe en my ma het hom kort daarna gevolg.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leeroy het daarna vir \u2019n tyd by familie in Zimbabwe gebly. Sy ouers wou egter self hul seun grootmaak en toe hulle kon, het hulle geld Zimbabwe toe gestuur sodat Leeroy in SA by hulle kon aansluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het graad 2 hier in SA begin, maar die aanpassing was vir my baie moeilik en dit het beteken dat ek my gr. 2-jaar moes herhaal,\u201d onthou Leeroy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was egter in hierdie uitdagende jaar wat Leeroy die krag van lees agtergekom en di\u00e9 aktiwiteit as \u2019n manier om te ontsnap, begin gebruik het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het al die boeke in my juffrou se klas gelees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe hy besef dat hy al die gr. 2-boeke klaar gelees het, het hy maar met die volgende jaar se leesboeke begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moes iets doen om \u2019n ontsnapping te vind,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daardie agtjarige seuntjie het grootgeword en vandag is hy die topmatrikulant van die Ho\u00ebrskool Franschhoek se matriekklas van 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLeeroy het uitdagings met taalhindernisse en aanpassing ervaar toe hy in sy vormingsjare tussen Suid-Afrika en Zimbabwe verhuis het,\u201d lui \u2019n verklaring van die KWDM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het teen graad 4 Engels bemeester en akademies uitgeblink, aangedryf deur sy groot begeerte vir \u2019n beter toekoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten spyte van erge terugslae het hy in die 2023- Nasionale Seniorsertifikaat-eksamen vier vakonderskeidings en \u2019n gemiddelde van 79% behaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy prestasie is \u2019n bewys van sy vasberadenheid en veerkragtigheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie toekenning [wat hy ontvang het] is hoogs verdienstelik vir buitengewone prestasie, ongeag uitdagende omstandighede.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leeroy gaan vanjaar ingenieurswese aan die Kaapse Skiereiland Universiteit van Tegnologie (KSUT) studeer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
