Siza Gule, 18, from Soweto, will be flying to the US later this year to study law and politics at Harvard University after bagging nine distinctions and achieving a 94 aggregate in his matric results.
The teenager, who studied at St Johns College in Johannesburg, secured a scholarship and acceptance at one of the worlds most prestigious universities and cant wait to spread his wings.
I feel proud, relieved and grateful. Earlier, after learning that he had been accepted at Harvard it brought me to tears because it is a landmark in my life, and I am very grateful for all the support I got, he said.
