The Naledi Senior Secondary School product took home the P300 CNA voucher, Samsung laptop and he also got sponsorship for a trip to South Africa for career training. There was also the Best School Award, which went to Naledi Senior Secondary, where the top three students came from.

The Who’s Yo Genius, is an educational quiz TV show which featured two best senior school students from across the country.

Deputy permanent secretary in the Ministry of Education and Skills Development, Kgopotso Ramoroka commended the show producers for the initiative, noting that it was in line with the ministry’s policy of promoting excellence.

He said the programme was relevant given that the country was not that good when it comes to Mathematics and Science, hence the Who’s Yo Genius TV Show acted as a way of encouraging students to go for such courses which are thought to be difficult by many. Ramoroka thus encouraged parents to allow their children to enroll for Science and Mathematics based courses. Ends
