Godfrey, van Nooitgedacht-plaas, KleinDrakenstein, is die enigsteA-gemiddelde leer-der van die skool. Hy moes vir 12 jaar van dieplaas alle uiterste weersomstandighede trot-seeromdaagliksdie 12kmnadie skool te loop.

Mercia, wat drie onderskeidings behaal,naamlik 85% in rekeningkunde, 85% in En-gels addisionele taal en 83% in ekonomie, wasDinsdag saammet die top-50-leerders van dieWes-Kaap by die Premier se woning, Leewen-hof, vereer.

Syheteenvandriebuitengewoneministeri-ele toekennings ontvang vir ’n 2013-matriku-lantwat ondanks groot persoonlike uitdagingsteeds akademies uitstekend presteer het.

“Ek was stomgeslaan en ter selfde tyd trotsopmyself, maar het nooit gedink dat ek ’n toe-kenning sou verower nie,” glimlag Mercia.

Nadat haar ma, Erika, haar en haar tweebroersRas-MarcusenMalickbyhaarpa,Mon-te Meisenheimer in Kingston plakkerskampgelos het, moes sy die huishouding oorneem.

“My pa het toe op ’n plaas gewerk en ek watnet ses jaar oud. Ek moes klere was, kook enmy boeties versorg,” vertel sy. Later kon synie meer by hou met al dié verpligtinge nieen het vir maande uit haar skool, MagnoliaPrimêr, gebly.

“Vandat ek kan onthou hetmyma ’n drank-probleem gehad en ons altyd agtergelaat en

dan moes my pa haar soek,” sê sy.Haar pa het toe bekommerd geraak en be-

sluit om sy drie kinders na sy suster, SoniaKing, inBougainvillea-woonstelle teneemdatsy hulle kon versorg.Dieselfde jaar het hul tante toe hul wettige

voog geword.Mercia se visie vir die toekoms is om onaf-

hanklik te wees, sodat sy eendag vir haar paen broers hul eie huis kan koop.Mercia sal vanjaar haar BCom Besigheids-

bestuur kursus by die Universiteit van Stel-lenbosch afskop.Godfrey wat vanjaar BSc Chemie en Poli-

neer aan dieUniversiteit Stellenbosch sal stu-deer,wasverheug toehysyuitslaeop7Janua-rie ontvang.“Ekhet verlede jaar virmyself ’n studiepro-

gram uitgewerk en ook ander leerders gehelpmethul skoolwerk, ensohetekmyselfvoorbe-rei op die eindeksamen,” vertel hy.Godfrey het vier vakonderskeidings naam-

lik 86% in wiskunde, 81% in lewensoriënte-ring, 91% in rekeningkunde en 83% in fisiesewetenskappe ontvang.Godfrey is een van drie kinders van Diana

en Johnnie Swartz. Hywas vanaf laerskool al-tyd onder die topdrie-presteerders van syskool.Sy geheim vir ’n suksesvolle studieplan is:

Doen jou beplanning reg en probeer uitwerkhoe om tyd op vraestelle te bespaar.Klein Nederburg Sekondêre Skool het ook

’n ministeriële toekenning ontvang in die ka-tegorie vir verbetering in Afrikaans huistaal.Die skool het vir 2013 ’n matriek-slaagsyfer

Hoe goed was jou besigheid se fi-nansiële rekordhouding en bestuurverlede jaar? Wat gaan jy in 2014doen om dit te verbeter?

Vaccinate girlsagainst cervix cancerStatistics show that one in every eightwomen that die in South Africa, die fromcomplications as a result of Cancer of theCervix.

Simply translated this indicates that ifyour daughter attends apartywith sevenoth-er little girls, one of them may die as a resultof Cancer of the Cervix. Almost 80% of cervi-cal cancers are caused by theHuman Papillo-mavirus (HPV).The vaccination prevents theinfection of the virus from developing on thecervix.“We now have the opportunity to stop this

illness; all that is required is effective vacci-nation. Western Cape Government Healthwill help you do this.Our health teams will be visiting all public

and special education schools in theProvinceduring February and again in September toadminister free HPV vaccination to girls inGrade 4 and who have already turned nineand older,” states Minister Theuns Botha,Western Cape Minister of Health, who is afather and grandfather.During thenext three years,WCGHwill an-

nually vaccinate all Grade 4 girls. It is howev-er of vital importance that parents/caregiv-ers and teachers play their role in this cam-paign.Parents need to ensure that they have

signed and return the consent forms whichthey will receive from the school that theirchild attends.No girlwill be vaccinatedwith-out parental consent.The consent form will be sent to parents

during the next few weeks.Theconsent formwill onlybegiven to those

parents whose girls are eligible for the vac-cine. These are:
