This Women’s Month, we celebrate the brilliance, determination, and potential of young girls who are shaping the future of science and technology.

Meet Sheila Mawelele, a remarkable Grade 6 learner from Rebonwe Primary School, whose passion for innovation has already begun to shine on prestigious platforms. Sheila proudly represented her school at the 2025 Eskom Expo for Young Scientists – Regional Round, held at Wits University. Competing alongside top learners from leading schools, Sheila impressed the judges with her confidence, creativity, and scientific excellence.
Her achievement? A Silver Medal and Certificate of Achievement – a testament to her hard work and a symbol of what’s possible when talent is nurtured with opportunity.

Sheila’s journey is a proud moment not only for Rebonwe Primary School (one of our ORT SA Coding & Robotics program alumni schools), but for her entire township community.
As we honour women across the nation this August, we salute young achievers like Sheila who are boldly stepping into the future — one innovation at a time.
