📌 Here is a very inspiring quote from our Sinekhaya Sineke, a BA Honours in Journalism graduate. 🎓

The quote emphasizes the importance of using journalism as a tool for social change, particularly for marginalized communities.

It highlights the power of words to both build and break, and the responsibility of journalists to use their platform to uplift and empower those who have been historically silenced or excluded.

This quote remains highly relevant in the current era, where the role of journalism is increasingly critical in navigating a complex and rapidly changing world.

It serves as a powerful reminder of the responsibility that journalists have to use their platform to serve the public interest, to amplify marginalized voices, and to build a more just and equitable society. 🙌

Aristotle's quote, "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet," remains highly relevant in today's era.

It highlights the challenges and rewards associated with the pursuit of knowledge and learning.💯

📌 To the Matric Class of 2024,

The wait is almost over!
You've put in countless hours of studying, late nights, and countless cups of coffee (or whatever your fuel of choice is). You've faced challenges, celebrated small victories, and grown immensely throughout this journey.

Remember that these results are just one snapshot of your abilities. They don't define your worth or your future. Focus on the hard work and dedication you've shown. 🚀
