“In ’n land met uiteenlopende uitdagings is hierdie kompetisie ‘n bevestiging vir jong mense dat hul agtergrond of omstandighede nie hul toekoms definieer nie.”
“In a country facing diverse challenges, this competition reassures young people that their background or circumstances do not define their future.”
This competition, presented by the University of the Free State (UFS) and Novus Media, helps matric learners develop the qualities they need to succeed.
“The competition improved my self-confidence. It taught me to trust my abilities and to be proud of my achievements, hard work, and personality.”
