Songezo Mtati

A teacher from the Eastern Cape Province of SA, achieved a 100% mathematics pass rate for his matric class of 2024.

At Walmer High School, a no-fee township school in Gqeberha, very few of the more than 2,000 learners wanted to do pure maths until a new teacher, Songezo Mtati, who was only 26 years old, came to class — with a plan. As matric results were released on Monday, 13 January 2025, he wrote on social media: ‘Finally I managed to get 100% in MATHEMATICS. I’ve been fighting for this. Thanks to you all, Class of 2024.’

We salute you for all the incredible work you’re doing in South Africa.
