An Exceptional Talent

Kearsney College dux and popular deputy head prefect in 2015, Jabulani Nyathi, has been awarded a post-graduate scholarship to study at Cambridge – one of the world’s most notable universities.

The coveted scholarship to study for his MPhil in Engineering for Sustainable Development will enable Jabulani to realise his dream of operating in the sustainable engineering space and to position himself at the forefront of solving some of the world’s greatest problems.

The quietly spoken, modest 25-year-old credits Kearsney for its contribution to where he is today.

“The high quality and diverse education I obtained at Kearsney made transitioning from school to university significantly easier. Outside of academic excellence, the college instilled great values such as compassion, integrity and tenacity that I still consider to be crucial in my life and work,” he says.

Last year Jabulani graduated from the University of Cape Town with first class honours (over 75 percent) in chemical engineering.
