So proud of Sazi...it brings So much joy to both parents seeing their child achieving exceptionally...Her elder sister is also doing Masters In Foreign service in US...Guess it runs in the family...BIG BRAINS...

[aliciamomat]

And people didn't want kid like him to be celebrated just because they are scared they have failed and the matric results should be done in secret. Well done champion

[zozibiningqula]

Good lucky boy America is not easy has it looks and it not perfect, dreams can be come night mares in one day

You be careful when you in the street and mind your own business and problem because people here own weapons and guns etc. So if you try to mess with them they will hurt you or shot you


Soo mind you problem, stay in your lane cuz American love personal space and hate when you too close

Again people here have and own guns and weapon becareful like i said America can help you build your dreams but it can also turn your life into a nightmare

[benitareatlegile]

So sad a brilliant mind must be jabbed to study at US...

[Ndeka]

If government could invest (stop misusing funds) in the education system half as much as the private sector, more students like this would emerge 🤞🏽
Congratulations 🎉

Congratulations to Sazi and his family on this excellent achievement. I remember when he was just 13 years old, already showing so much potential. Your guitar teacher is proud of you Sazi!

Reading some of these comments is really sickening. I am a person of color too, but it’s totally unnecessary to turn this particular scenario into a race debate. I mean come on people. This young man should be celebrated for his hard work and natural gift regardless. If he wants to go to what is generally regarded to be the most prestigious university in the world, who are any of we to say, oh why didn’t you choose Wits instead (and I happen to be a proud Wits alumn). People please get off your high horse and let this brilliant young man have his moment in the spotlight!

excellent work, hope he comes back and builds the country, lets break the vicious cycle of brain drain and also lets support young men like him who actually know what their doing rather than being political zombies

[PeterJohnJnb]

What a charming young man! Congratulations fella, hope you have the time of your life! God speed son.

[hloma]

Sazi should be protected at all costs. A national treasure this one. ❤️❤️

[zaneledyasi]

Thank you Sazi for showing our kids "it's possible"! Your support system must be beyond proud! Your MOM! OMG! God's Speed!

[Tshegomlp]

So proud of the boy, sounds like he was brought up really well. I hope he feels zero pressure from the attention he's received

[naominkosi]

Extremely proud of you boy-boy! Please share your study technique, from discipline to food, to time tables, to breaks to exercise to blocking out unnecessary noise especially during this pandemic. I'm sure others can benefit a great deal too because you young sir, have just becom3 an example. Also, please do come.back to your home country to practice your learnings overseas . Even if it's just to visit! Up up we go.
