MBOMBELA – First-year student, Similo Siyenga believes that the circumstances in which you grow up should not dictate what you can and cannot achieve.
Raised in Matsulu, Siyenga is living proof of this and now studies civil engineering at the University of Pretoria.
Yet he received some help getting there and now wishes to give back and help others.
“When I was at school at Hoërskool Rob Ferreira I found that I struggled with maths and physical science in the first term of my matric year. For additional help, I visited a school in Matsulu where high school teachers donated their time after school to help students.”

This led to Siyenga achieving the 75 per cent average he needed qualify for university and the marks to gain admission to study in his dream field.
These winter holidays he wants to give back to the community that supported him. Starting on Monday, Siyenga will offer extra maths and physical science classes to all learners from grades 10 to 12.
These classes will be held at his alma mater and be free of charge.
