Guest: Mpho Nkwana - Grade 12 leaner from Clapham High School. He was part of the Pan African Mathematics Olympiad (PAMO) 2016 team that represented South Africa in Senegal
Well spoken, hardworking and talented those are some of the words that describe Mpho Nkwana, a grade 12 leaner from Clapham High School in Pretoria. He hails from Soshanguve and is so much inspired by his community that he felt it was his obligation to represent them in a field that he felt most young black people are underrepresented. Mpho was the only black learner in a team of six who represented South Africa at the 2016 Pan African Mathematics Olympiad (PAMO) in Senegal. The South African team came out with flying colours ending up as winners in both the overall competitions as well as PAMO-G (the competition for girls)
