WALVIS BAY – Businessman Johnny Johnson Doeseb gave N$10 000 to each of the 10 best performing Grade 12 learners in the Erongo Region. The award ceremony took place at the Walvis Bay Municipality Hall and was attended by the Governor of the Erongo Region, Cleophas Mutjavikua last week.
“Education is important because it opens many doors which would otherwise have stayed closed for you, but successfully finishing Grade 12 is just phase one and therefore furthering your education that best suits your skills and competencies must now be the next step. Good academic results must be accompanied by a winning attitude and professionalism, otherwise you will join the lot of educated fools with degrees but no skills, and you should guard against that at all times… I am therefore giving each of you an amount of N$10 000 on condition that you register at any tertiary institution, because your parents and the community that supported you all these years want to see you succeed in life,” said Doeseb.
The 10 top learners are Quinton Gertze from Da Palm Secondary School, Paulina Shikongo from Namib High School, Khadisjah Goses from Coastal High School, Lusianu Daniel from Kuisebmund High School, Priscilla Masule from Westside High School, Florian Mosich from Namib High School, Nienke Heyman from Kuisebmund High School, Naemi Hangula from Coastal High School, Hileni Walenga Kuisebmund High School and Thomas Fillemon from Kuisebmund High School.
