Being at Waterford Kamhlaba UWC has been
an invaluable educational experience, as I have
learnt a lot about myself as a person, as a Swazi, as an African and as a citizen of the world.
I have met some really amazingly talented
people and engaged with many activities. My
thinking, ideas and beliefs have been challenged. This has helped to me discover more
about myself and others. It was through many
spirited intercultural discussions and analyses
of world issues, that I realized we are all concerned about making the world a better place,
for all. It was the different perspectives we have
that showed me that we all want change. But
sometimes we just have to be realistic with
what it is that we want. My Waterford Kamhlaba UWC experience has been what it has been
because of the people who made a lasting
impression on my life. I can confidently say
that I am a different person from the person I
was when I first walked into
the gates of this school.
- Mkhanyisi Gcebani Gamedze,
(Swaziland, WK 2013-14)
We sometimes forget that there are eight
nationalities represented at the breakfast table
on a regular morning, and that wars have been
fought over differences, because somehow our
extra ordinary diversity has become our everyday life, at Waterford Kamhlaba UWC, a place
that has been our home for the past two years.
These two years have been absolutely stunning,
from the time I’ve spent climbing mountains,
to the time I have spent climbing through the
pile of Physics papers. I couldn’t have found a
better place to call my home and people to call
my family than at Waterford Kamhlaba UWC.
Admittedly, I’m absolutely terrified to get onto
the plane tomorrow, because I’m going to be
lost without my people here, and so, I thank you
all for an amazing UWC experience. Ngiyabonga
ngiyanitsandza!

STUDENT REFLECTIONS
Waterford Kamhlaba UWC, has given me an opportunity to engage
with people of diverse backgrounds: races and nationalities as well as
people of different political, religious, moral and socio-economic affiliations. As such the UWC experience at Waterford Kamhlaba has left
me with no choice but to learn, not to cram and absorb, but to learn
critically. But for me the essence of the UWC lies in the idea that the
benefits of this experience and education do not end at a prestigious
tertiary education, money and fantastic memories but extend to create
a desire to initiate change. Not just change on a grand scale but on a
more personal level. To continue trying new things - maybe feminism,
helping out at a local primary school or debating the pros and cons of
nationalism. Just generally striving to be better
