Unathi has taken to her social media to offer some words of encouragement to students ahead of their matric results.
This is coming after the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) announced its matric results on Friday and a pass rate of 98.07%, a slight decline from last year’s 98,82%.
Basic education minister Angie Motshekga will announce the public school results on Monday.
Unathi explained that she had failed severally as she advices those who feel stuck and dissatisfied with their results to draw strength from her personal experience.
She shared that she failed grade 8 and her first year in university.
She said she was just slower when it comes to academics.
“It was devastating so I know how you feel and how heartbroken you must be. I understand the possible things you are saying or doing to yourself and I want to ask you as your big sis: don’t give up on yourself. It’s okay, it really is. I had to learn that I’m just slower when it comes to academics and I needed more time,” Unathi said.
