Mokubung (17) from Bluegumbosch Secondary School in FS obtained first position in the top 3 learners in quintile 3 schools for mathematics in the country.

Mokubung’ success is due to hard work and dedication.

His educaters describe him as a special learner after his father died while he was still in his mother’s womb.

However, this did not deter him and his family ensured that he remained grounded and focused on education.

Mokubung took those lessons and instilled them into his classmates.

During the 2025 school year, Mokubung would leave his house early to make it to school before teaching commenced to assist his fellow classmates and they would do the same in the afternoon.

“I have a passion for teaching and assisting those in need and that is why it was important for me to try and help those who were in need. I am happy that my efforts were not in vain because looking at the social media posts of most of my classmates, they did well in mathematics. It was all worth it and I am proud,” said Mokubung.

He intends to study Acturial Sciences at the University of Pretoria this year.

His mathematics educator, Ernest Thabo Moroane said Mokubung’s achievement hardly came as a surprise.

“He is a selfless young man who is willing to assist his fellow learners. He would arrive early at the school and leave late in the afternoon to ensure that other learners did not struggle. I am not surprised with his achievement because he worked hard for it and it is well deserved,” said Moroane.

Premier MaQueen Letsoha-Mathae said she was proud of Mokubung and the sacrifices that he made.

“The Free State Provincial Government congratulates Bokang Mokubung for his wonderful achievement. Through hard work, Bokang has put our province on the map and we take this moment to say well done to him and wish him all the best for the future,” said Letsoha-Mathae.
