Joy for two whizz kids

Sowetan "Malebelo Maphutha’s dream of becoming a scientist and making the world a better place is finally coming true.
She and Vuyo Funde, another Crawford College, Johannesburg, matriculant, have just joined the best after each notched up seven distinctions in this year’s matric examinations.
Vuyo, 18, says he wants to be an actuarial scientist. He admits that attending a private school yielded positive results for him because of the individual attention tailored to his needs.
After a “relatively easy year”, the 18-year-old Malebelo says she is happy that she has passed her matric though she had expected it.
“Matric was not that difficult for me, I really had fun,” Malebelo says. “ What I thought was hard and stressful was Grade 11 – but I got through it.”"
