NEN Tutorial and Mentorship Programme

Our academic year started during the weekend of the 01st of February 2025 !!!

William Smith - a personal tribute

In the 1990s, which were my High school years at Fons Luminis Secondary School in Diepkloof, I would be glued to the TV screen watching the SABC Learning Channel where William Smith would deliver Mathematics and Physical Sciences lessons.

We would figuratively eat from the palm of his hands. I would also make sure to get his newspaper educational supplements on Sundays.

When learners and Educators alike would call in to his show he would treat all of them with warmth and respect, even across the colour line back in those days. I have since learnt that he accepted and taught Black learners as far back as the 1970s when it was not fashionable to do so in the Apartheid South Africa of that time.

What a wide reach he had across the length and breadth of this country.

He truly led an exemplary life.

And it was only in 2021 that the national order of the Baobab in silver was bestowed upon him. I still think that this was way overdue. But that he was engrafted into that order when he was still alive is more meaningful than would have been a posthumous conferment.

Today I am a High School Mathematics teacher but, I don't think that I have had a fraction of the generational impact of countless people that Mr Smith had in his lifetime. I continue to hold his memory and contribution in very high regard.

I stand in awe as I imbibe on the heartfelt reflections in the past two days since his passing. He was, without a doubt, a great South African and amazing human being to boot.

He is the type of person to whom the following words could be said by the Good Lord "Well done my good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Master". Now, I do not know his religious views and orientation and am not imposing mine on him.

An official state funeral would certainly be a fitting farewell send-off to this colossal figure in the educational space..🙏🏽🙏🏽💐🌺💖🕊✨

George Hlonipho Msimeki graduated last week with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Cape Town (the premier university in Africa).

He did exceptionally well in Grade 12 and was also able to cruise through UCT doing a very challenging academic program, Chemical Engineering.

We are humbled as well as honoured to be associated with George as the NEN Tutorial Family. He is an Alumnus of our Tutorial Programme.

He has already secured a job and has started acquiring experience in order to enable him to do his MBA.

We wish you all the Best Mfanasemzini in your future endeavours. And may the Good Lord remain the Anchor and Centre of your life..👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🎊😇🌺💐💖💯🎓🇿🇦✨

On Thursday, 28 March, Siphesihle Vundla graduated with a Bachelor of Accounting Sciences degree at Wits University.

This is one of the very challenging programs done at University for people who want to be Chartered Accountants.

For one to be accepted in the first place means that they produced sterling Grade 12 results. And for one to stay the course and complete the program means that one is really made of sterner stuff.

He is currently doing his Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting at UJ, which is part of the journey towards being a CA.

As the NEN Tutorial Family we are humbled and honoured at the same time to be associated with Siphesihle an Alumnus at NEN and one of our current Tutors.

Sithi halala Nsizwa yamabutho, Mfo kaGigaba..!!! You conquered the Edge. May the Good Lord remain the Anchor and Centre of your life..👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽👌🏽🥳🥳😇🌺💐💖🎓📚✨
