Earlier
this year Business Women’s Association, South
Africa’s Business
Woman of
the year, Margaret Hirsch, visited her old
school to distribute Dignity Packs to the girls of Russell High. During this visit Mrs Hirsch challenged
the girls to write an essay on their lives as if they were 90 years old and the
winner would receive R5000. Last week Mrs Hirsch returned to the school to
announce the winner. Mrs Hirsch was so impressed with the essays that she
decided to award four prizes instead of just one. “The thunderous applause that
resounded in the halls of Russell high for each winner was enough to bring many of the girls to tears.
and it was heart warming to see how
excited all the young ladies were
for those who received the prizes”
said Hirsch PRO, Victoria Laubscher. The Russell High girls are
make Pietermaritzburg proud, they have a great tradition when they like
something, they raise their hand in a queen like wave and it is really
something to witness. The talented winners of the competition are R5000 Winner
– Neliswa Palesa Khambule , R2000 Winner - Landiwe Dlamini , R1000 Winner
- Zama Molefe and R500 Winner - Ayanda Zuma -
