Meanwhile, Briefly News reported that Bhekamandaba Makhonza's life turned around instantly like in movies or a fairytale. This smart young man from Esigodini in Pietermartizburg said he still cannot believe how his life changed overnight.
From a dilapidated mud house which he lived in for many years, he said it was a miracle that he and his family now live in a fully furnished three-bedroom house worth R400 000 thanks to a local businessman, Bonginkosi Makhathini.
After achieving eight distinctions and the third-highest marks in physical science in the whole of Mzansi and becoming Mzansi’s second-top achiever, this young man’s future looked bleak as he had lost hope of ever leaving the poor life behind due to financial difficulties. He could not believe his luck when he got it all at the same time.
