Thomas Bradford and Junior Tshabalala having some fun during the Mastermind Quiz.
Randfontein High School (RHS) hosted its annual Mastermind quiz at the school’s hall on 29 May.
Pupils from eight different schools participated in the quiz and saw themselves battling for the first place.
According to RHS representative Jason Fischer, the purpose of the quiz is to give the top achievers from different schools an opportunity to sharpen their knowledge on a wide range of subjects.
Questions asked in the quiz were on different categories such as mathematics, science, general knowledge, geography, literature and sports.
“We had a quizmaster in place who asked the teams questions and the first team that pressed the buzzer got to an opportunity to answer the question asked.
“When they answered the question correctly, the team then scored themselves a point and if not, then they forfeited a point,” says Fischer.
According to him, this gave them an opportunity to improve their knowledge and learn a thing of two from each other.
He is adamant that although Krugersdorp High School walked away with the title, their school will take the title on the next quiz.
At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
"Johan is an internationally published journalist and editor with extensive experience in news and industry reporting. His work has featured in numerous publications over the years.
He cut his teeth at the Roodepoort Record and Northside Chronicle as proofreader, swiftly progressing to junior journalist. He later joined Randfontein Herald as journalist and eventually worked his way up to becoming editor. During his years away from Caxton, he fulfilled journalist and editor positions for various industry publications at the once mighty Malnor Media House right up to their closure in 2019. This position saw him traveling all over the world on writing assignments. Since 2019, he has worked as a freelancer for various publishing houses, and had a year-long stint as senior editor for a large stable of retail and medical B2B titles, until rapid growth of his own small business required his fulltime attention. At the end of 2023, with his own business now fully staffed, Johan decided to dedicate himself to his first love, working as a local journalist for the good of his community.
