Cameron Chetty's graduation day recently took an unexpected turn, leaving him and his fellow students in awe. Nothing could have prepared the quiet Durban student for what happened when his name was called.
As he walked across the stage at Emeris Durban North’s graduation ceremony, the crowd erupted into cheers after it was announced that he had achieved a remarkable 99% average in his IIE Bachelor of computer and information sciences in application development degree, placing first nationally across all Emeris campuses.
“I was shocked to hear the cheers from the crowd as I walked across the stage. I didn’t know how to react, but I felt overjoyed,” he said.
Behind the near-perfect average were years of sacrifice, discipline and determination.
