Full high school bursary for Pamela
When her mother died in 2014, Pamela was left in the care of her grandmother, uncle and her sister.
Thirteen-year-old Pamela Nzama has a bright future ahead of her and will be flying Ugu district‘s flag high in academics.
She has secured a full bursary for her high school education.
A top learner at Insingizi Primay from the rural area of Bomela, she has made her teachers and family proud.
The teenager is attending Grade 8 at Anton Lembede Academy in Durban.
The academy opened its door for the first time this year, and Pamela is lucky to be one of the first pupils to attend.
On Friday, February 5, teachers, circuit manager Busisiwe Ngcungama and her uncle Andile Nzama bid farewell to the teen at her former school.
All spoke highly of Pamela and wished her a safe and successful future.
Queen Cele, principal of Insingizi Primary was over the moon and proud of her pupil.
She said when she first met Pamela she saw a young lady who is also a leader.
Mrs Cele encouraged Pamela to apply for the scholarship and helped her.
“This is an opportunity she could not afford to lose,” said Mrs Cele.
Her former class teacher, Philasande Makhanya said Pamela is a hard worker and she is gifted with intellect.
“She made things very easy, it was such a pleasure to mark her school work. I pray that she excels in everything she does and may she be safe. I am also very happy that her background and social ills did not determine her future.”
Mrs Ngcungama applauded the teachers for doing a great job and said that they should also be proud of themselves because this shows how hard they work.
HOD Thembelihle Nzimakwe said she noticed Pamela’s results when she was in grade 6 and that she had been excelling in mathematics and science.
“She got 88 percent for maths and 90 percent for science. When she went to Durban for her test, she did very well.”
When her mother died in 2014, Pamela was left in the care of her grandmother, uncle and her sister.
Her uncle has been taking care of her ever since.
“I am grateful to my teachers and mostly to my uncle, he is the best.”
