It is your aptitude, not just your attitude that determines your ultimate altitude. People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.

Remember that failure is an event, not a person. Umtshezi Municipality extends its heartfelt support to the grade 12 learners of 2015 as they write exams and prepare for their final exams in November. We trust that learners are actively engaged in their studies and are ‘going the extra mile’ to strive for academic success.

Remember that ‘an investment in knowledge pays the best interest.’ Umtshezi Municipality encourages our youth to focus on their studies. Learners should use all the available resources to be successful in their studies.

As the future leaders of our great nation, we are confident that with good and thorough preparation that you will produce excellent results in the examinations. Remember the motivational words of encouragement by our late iconic leader, Nelson Mandela: “Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.”
