Ten people each stood a chance to win a bursary worth R10 000. And winners, who were computer-selected at random, could take up the bursary themselves, or offer it to someone else – a relative, a friend or a protégé, for instance. Winners were all bowled over at news of their win, whether it was to fulfill their own dream or help someone else fulfill theirs.

The bursaries are being used for an interesting variety of studies. In KwaZulu-Natal, one of the winners will realize her dream to get into the medical field by becoming a paramedic. Another is studying IT at Durban University of Technology while a third is going into the food industry.

In Kimberley a proud father has given the bursary to his son and daughter to study basic computer skills and office administration respectively, while two winning mothers are seeing their daughters on their way to success. Then there’s a doting Randfontein aunt who is giving the bursary to her 16-year-old niece – and a highly supportive husband in Tygerberg is presenting it to his wife to further her studies.

Seeing ten people moving forward in their careers is positive evidence that ‘Positivenergy’ combines performance plus responsibility. It also underlines Energizer’s commitment to responsible power, and serving the community.
