In 2022, Vezukhono Secondary School achieved a matric pass rate of 90,59%.
Last year, the teachers worked even harder and surprisingly, the school achieved a 95% pass rate.
Since receiving the results, the school at Barcelona in Etwatwa, Ekurhuleni has been celebrating.
SGB chairwoman Tshidi Nyembe (70) even wore the school uniform in honour of Vezukhono.
"The days of parents sending their kids to schools outside the kasi are over. Things have changed. I wear this uniform with pride because it symbolises hard work and success," she said.
The best pupils at Vezukhono achieved 54 distinctions, and the majority of them passed.
