Charmza: Masalanabo Modjadi
A momentous occasion flew well under the radar with the release of the 2024 matric results last week. Â
Rain Queen heir, Masalanabo Modjadi of the Balubedu dynasty, was counted among the 87% of the class of 2024 who passed their matric. What many don’t know is that Her Royal Highness is the first female heir to the throne to obtain a matric. Â
Not only that; her custodian, Dr Mathole Motshekga, confirmed the princess was admitted to an unnamed university where she will further her studies, thereby raising the bar even higher. Â
We pause to doff our hat to the Rain Queen-elect in recognition of her achievement and duly anoint her our charmza this week. Â
It might well be one small step for a pupil who happens to have blue blood but it can be viewed as one giant leap for the further emancipation of women.Â
