Mpho obtained four distinctions in life orientation, English, religion studies and business studies.
The 18-year-olds said they were thrilled and proud of their results, and that the grace of God rewarded them for their efforts.
“Our achievements are not a guarantee for a successful future, but will enable us to have a good start as we still have a long way to go,” said Lehlogolono.
Mpho said throughout their schooling career, they’ve always encouraged one another to work hard.
“We kept reminding each other about the dreams, and the long term goals kept us going,” she said.
Lehlogolono added that they always helped each other with their common subjects, mathematics and English.
“But Mpho was doing better than me throughout the year. My performance in some of the subjects fluctuated throughout the year, but I kept pushing.
“Consistency is crucial, although I was already tired by June, but most of the content was covered and I had enough time for revision before the final exams,” she said jokingly.
“My twin sister and the teachers were never content with my performance; they always wanted more, and that encouraged me to study harder.”
Mpho said she always knew her sister had the potential, and she kept encouraging her.
The twins said they were grateful to their mother, Raisibe who prayed for their success daily. Their older siblings, Karabo and Katlego, have been motivating them ever since their high school days. Their friends also motivated them.
They enjoy preparing food together, listening to music and having late-night conversations to reflect and count their blessings, and to revise before an exams
“We also enjoy going through Twitter, that’s like our daily news,” said Mpho.
Lehlogolono will study medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand while Mpho will embark on a degree in accounting at the University of Johannesburg.
Mpho said she has always wanted to see herself in the corporate world. The current issues of corruption in the country got her interested to know more about ethics in the business world.
Her sister, Lehlogolono, has always wanted to study medicine, and regards Wits as one of the best institutions in the country.
“I’ve been exposed to that university for the past three years through the Targeting Talent Programme (TTP), and I can’t think of any other institution to pursue my studies at,” she said.
