“Promaths made me! I learnt beyond the spheres of
maths and science. Through many programmes which they offered, I
realised that life offers infinite possibilities. We are supposed to work hard in order to claim what we are destined for. A key factor
which was instilled in me was discipline, especially in the part of time keeping. Halala Promaths!”
Bhekisisa Nyembe, ProMaths Top Performer 2011
