14 November 2026 – The President of the North West Representative Council of Learners (RCL), Angelina Lerato Mokoena, has encouraged the Class of 2026 to remain focused, motivated and determined as learners enter the final stretch of their National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations, having successfully completed more than 60% of their examination papers. In her motivational message, Mokoena acknowledged the hard work, commitment and sacrifices learners have made throughout their academic journey, urging them not to lose momentum at this critical stage.
“To the Class of 2026, you have come a long way, and completing more than 60% of your final examinations is a significant achievement. I want to encourage each and every one of you to remain focused, stay positive and continue giving your very best.
“Do not allow exhaustion, fear or uncertainty to distract you from the goals you have worked so hard to achieve,” she said.
Mokoena further reminded learners that perseverance, discipline and self-belief are essential in overcoming challenges, particularly during the final days of their examinations. She added that learners’ hard work, dedication and sacrifices will not be in vain.
“Believe in yourselves and the abilities you possess. Every examination paper is another opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned and how far you have come.
“Even when the journey becomes challenging, keep pushing forward and never underestimate your potential,” said Mokoena.
She urged learners to approach their remaining papers with confidence, determination and a positive attitude, reminding them that their future opportunities are worth the effort they are putting in today. Mokoena said they have come this far, so they should not give up now.
“The finish line is within reach. Stay strong, remain confident and finish what you started. Your dreams are valid, your future matters and your efforts today can open doors to greater opportunities tomorrow.
“Keep pushing, Class of 2026. We believe in you!” She concluded.
