The youngster was given the leadership position of being the year’s head girl, and was also awarded with a special blazer for her academic excellence. Mavuso was top of her class since Grade 9 at Gekombineerde Skool Noorderlig in Benoni.
Her fellow classmates roared as the matriculant walked across the stage to accept her awards. The school principal said:
“This is not something that happens often. This is a special honour. It is a special blazer that has been awarded to Sbahle for her excellent academic achievements. She was the top academic achiever in Grade 11, she was the top academic achiever in grade 10, and the top academic achiever in grade 9.”
Mavuso was emotional and shared her inspiring video on TikTok with the caption:
“From being announced as head girl of '25 to receiving an Honours blazer on the very same day has to be the biggest highlight of my life.”
Her mother was unfortunately not present during the ceremony but made it up to her in a special way.
