MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR OF NEWCASTLE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY TO THE MATRIC CLASS OF 2018

“Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it.”
Frantz Fanon

To the class of 2018, we wish them all the best of luck towards their examination. It has been a long and tiring 12 years that they have been busy identifying their mission which brings fruition soon after they have written their examination beginning this week for technical students but also amasses on the 22nd October 2018.

By this, we are heartfelt in echoing the words of our icon, Baba Nelson Mandela when he said, “Education is the most powerful weapon when you can use it to change the world”. We wish to see these young and shining stars of our nation in a very big mission of changing a status quo engulfed with hunger and underdevelopment to a possible prosperous future.

GOOD LUCK TO MATRICULANTS
