“However, I will forever cherish last year’s amazing memories,” Priyal told The Star about her year.
Her twin brother added that there were obstacles that had to be overcome but also times of fun and enjoyment, such as the matric dance, which was a highlight of the year.
These memories have been made sweeter by the twins’ final examination results.
Praval and Priyal shined after they obtained nine distinctions each in their examinations.
Praval, who wants to study actuarial science at Wits University, earned distinctions in English home language, Afrikaans first additional language, maths, life orientation, further studies maths, physical sciences, accounting, information technology and music, while Priyal, who plans to study medicine or biomedical engineering at Wits University or Tuks, obtained distinctions in English home language, Afrikaans first additional language, maths, life orientation, further studies maths, physical sciences, accounting, life sciences and music.
Both of the siblings appeared on the Independent Examinations Board’s (IEB) outstanding achievement list for achieving within the top 5% in 6 or more subjects and achieving a rating level of 7 in Life Orientation.
The Naidoo twins’ mother, Dr Roshni Naicker, speaking about what her children’s successes mean as a parent, said: "If you have a successful child, they basically use their abilities to develop increasing skills that help form positive attributes that will lead to a successful life.
"Successful children do become successful adults in most instances, and that also goes with high levels of self-esteem and self-worth."
