“In remembrance of Maggie and the tremendous impact she made during her lifetime, as well as continuing the legacy of the burning passion she had for uplifting the youngsters of Sinenjongo High School, Rabie has launched the Maggie Rowley Sinenjongo Assistance Fund”, says John Chapman, Director at Rabie.
The 2020 Sinenjongo High School matrics were subjected to pressures from all sides, but nonetheless improved on the 2019 results by 10%, by achieving an 88% pass rate.
