Matriculants: 'This family curse ends with me'
Some of the family members of the 2023 matriculants who are sitting for their final exams did not have an opportunity to go to university. Hence, several of these youngsters’ key focus is to break this cycle in their families. Their purpose is to ensure that none of their family members who will be born after them will end their studies only in Grade 12, but go beyond that level.
Klaas and Modisane, who are Grade 12 pupils at George Khosa Secondary School in Dobsonville, dream not only for a better future for themselves but also for future generations in their families. Klaas is aiming for seven distinctions with an average of 92%, and Modisane five to seven distinctions. This means that next year, they are certain that they will unlock the doors of universities for themselves and their future generations.I am going to be the first one to finish matric with a bachelor's pass in my family and to go to varsity. I feel proud and I feel like I have broken the curse. It ends with me.
Although Modisane envisions himself as a future economist, he also sees himself as a potential teacher “because I love sharing my knowledge with other people”.
