"We are very happy that Dillin came to study at our school, he is the first white pupil in the history of the school. He is a fast learner and very respectful.""At any given school break he doesn't get peace because pupils from other classes follow him around and touch him. They are excited because it is rare that they rub shoulders with a white person."Dillin's father Robbie du Preez said his son pleaded with him to enrol at a township school and he obliged.
