Church hosts Education Sunday to honour graduates

SASOLBURG – Every year, the City of Love & Restoration – Full Gospel Church in Zamdela hosts a special service to honour its newly graduated congregants. This year was no exception, as the church once again celebrated academic excellence with a heartfelt and uplifting ceremony on June 15. The service was graced by the presence of the Deputy Minister of Basic Education, Dr Reginah Mhaule, who joined graduates, learners, and church leaders in recognising the accomplishments of the Class of 2024. The event was hosted by Bishop Thabiso Mashiloane and Lady Bishop L. Mashiloane, with Dr Ncha skillfully leading the programme. Elder T.J. Sekolanyane opened the service by reflecting on its purpose: to commend graduates who have overcome challenges on their educational journey, and to inspire current learners to remain committed to their studies. Throughout the event, a variety of speakers delivered motivational messages to the congregation. Among them were Dr Mpho Ramoliki and Thandiwe Pino, who shared powerful words of encouragement. Dr Ramoliki urged learners to be discerning in their choice of role models, stating: 'If you are so thirsty that you want to drink from every cup presented to you, you will be poisoned. Don't make slay queens your role models.' Delivering the keynote address, Dr Mhaule congratulated the graduates and emphasised that learning does not stop after matric. She encouraged young people to embrace education as a lifelong journey and to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset to help combat unemployment and contribute positively to their communities. The celebration concluded with a symbolic gift handover to the graduates by Professor Segalo, Bishop and Lady Bishop Mashiloane, and Dr Mhaule, a gesture recognising the graduates' hard work, resilience, and dedication.

Amuné van Rooyen, a grade 4 learner, received the champion award on Book 11. The sharp young mind fought a good battle there. The win made her school and her parents proud. 'When I heard my child's name, I was in tears and screaming with joy. I couldn't be more proud. She worked really hard,' said Nataska van Rooyen, the mother of Amuné. The mother explained with excitement, highlighting her daughter's love for the maths subject. A grade 1 learner, La-Rochelle Niemand, also made a name for herself and the school. The courageous young mind showcased her skills and determination and brought gold on Book 7. 'We are very proud of La-Rochelle.
