The creative dreams of four students from KwaZulu-Natal have come true as they were each awarded the Loeries® Creative Future Scholarship. Samukelisiwe Faku from Inanda Newtown Comprehensive, Londeka Gumede and Roxanne Schoon both of Durban Girls High, and Mali Khuzwayo from Mowat Park High, will study further at Vega School Durban.
Since 2015, the Loeries® have partnered with the Vega School Durban, to expose learners from disadvantaged backgrounds to the brand communication industry.
