As former President Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” The Class of 2025 now steps into a new chapter of life equipped with knowledge, courage and ambition — ready to shape not only their own futures, but the future of their communities and country.
Executive Mayor M.P. Nkosi said: “To every learner who achieved their goals — well done. Your hard work has paid off, and Msukaligwa is incredibly proud of you. And to those whose results may not reflect their hopes, remember: one examination outcome does not define your future. There are many pathways to success, and every learner deserves the opportunity to keep pursuing their dreams. This is not the end of the journey — it is only the beginning.”
