Tyger Valley College Head Girl, Rachel van Zyl, entered the National Ubuntu Art Competition and was placed 2nd at the awards ceremony held last week Friday night.

It was a very a close competition, with the winner beating Rachel by 2% (there was a 11.5% difference between 2nd and 3rd place).

Possibly, the highlight of the prize-giving for Rachel was meeting the Minister of Education, Mrs Angie Motshekga, as well as the request from the organisers for Rachel to donate her artwork to the Minister, which she did. Minister Angie Motshekga asked Rachel to sign the artwork and said that it would be framed and placed in her office.
