After all we will all meet at Rhodes university, Wits, UCT, U.J or Stallenbosch after we attended village schools 😂😂
Lol
Well said 👏
However true that is, I went to a township school myself, these private school kids do have a leg up on us in terms of confidence, networking and exposure. First time I saw a lab was in varsity and had to figure my way around whereas bona they're all set upon leaving school. They can join the workforce ngo matric alone
Is it just me or are most of these all-boys schools? Explains a few things. Never too early to start building networks I suppose.
Partially explains why in the financial sector:
Only Bidvest has a female CEO.
Only Standard Bank and Bidvest have black CEOs.
The rest (Absa, First Rand Bank, Nedbank, Capitec, Discovery Limited, FNB etc) have WHITE MALE CEOs.
Except for TymeBank they have an Indian MALE CEO.
This in a country (in 2022) with more females than males and more blacks than any other race group.
Colour me confused. It isn't indicative of (nor does it reflect) the country's current gender and racial demographics.
The numbers don't add up.
😂😂😂😂Most of theses kids go Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, Havard etc, it is rare to find them here.
I received an academic scholarship to attend St Mary's (Waverley). As a person from a previously diasadvantaged background; going to such a prestigious school was a gift. I am now a 31-year-old with a private education centre where I try my best to give back to kids who come from similar backgrounds to mine.
All the blessings to come your way 🙏
Was teaching there in Junior school, the best school ever
Can I bring my child to your centre??
@Zaara having a private education center is my dream too I really need a mentor on that side. What quintile is your private education center cc?
Can you recommend how i as a parent can i apply for a scholarship for my kid
As a former Roedeanian I can definitely say that it has made a huge difference in my life. Yes, a lot of us go to local universities such as wits, UP, UJ, uct and stellenbosch, I can tell you that a lot of people use them as temporary measures. I have friends who have graduated from Harvard, Yale, MIT, NYU, Oxford and Cambridge and the likes… I myself studied in Switzerland and the US too.
Opportunities that not everyone has access to, however these schools have global networks. I can tell you for certain that parents send their kids to these schools and pay those fees purely for future networking purposes and not just for the education itself
Well said I was about to say that it's all about networking .
Spot on

@@leratogao2267 lol 😂 love it!
These children make connections for life socially, personally and professionally. What a great stepping stone for any young man or young lady. Pity not all of us realized this earlier. These children are just on another level and mostly very well rounded with impeccable manners.
I agree with you
Yip, true...
Exactly, so it's not a waste of money, or pointless, connections mean alot in the real world
Exactly. How is this being criticized? I'm confused. It goes beyond just education. A lot of the people commenting here don't understand this.
Absolutely 💯
I know atleast 5 people who went to these schools and they go to WITS, UCT and UJ as college level schools and go on to study internationally. SA varsities are safety schools for them and "temporary situations". I went to a village high school and I was surprised to meet students from some of these schools in my lecture halls. I over heard one of them saying "this is just for my first major, I'm working to get into harvard"😂 there I was thinking I've arrived.
Yes, He made it to harvard and is employed at one of the biggest financial institutions in the US. I definitely want my kids to go to these schools, these kids have unbelievable work ethic
😂😂
And impeccable self confidence
Well said cant pay over million for high school then settle for fees must fall
I promise you it’s very few that have high aspirations. Many are cozily doing fokkol
😭💀💀💀
What I love about them is teaching confidence, and positive reinforcement.
Don't mention the confidence n Positiveness when my son left after uk after MATRIC exams , taking a gap year I went like what if you don't make it? Mum passing grades are not a problem , the question is How many distinction am I going to obtain?
I got a heart attack listening to those numbers 🤣
really? because I have compared fees to British international school in small Slovakia and where annual fee for example for 12years old will cost 24120 euro! (different cost for each year, cheapest around 19 000 and highest 26570.
Hahaha 🤣 at least you are still alive after that heartache🤣
Hilton College and Michael House representing my home province and region❤️. Always loved them for my boy🙏🏾.
Would you say that going to private school gave you any advantages in life relative to kids who went to regular schools. Did this advantage get you into a better financial position than them based on jobs. Please explain if you say yes. In interested, because I feel that private school is a waste of money. In the end you just come out with a matric and still need to further your studies or knowledge on s playing field that is then more leveled. In UNI I couldn't see any clear relationship between ability to successfully complete a degree between private schooled kids vs those from ekasi for example.
As a child of rural schooling background and a pretty stellar profession right now, I wonder how I was going to turn out if I had all these privileges

St David's Marist Brothers had them back in 2006

You know if parents take their children to those schools it is because they can, if you can't go there dont be bitter about it,
Thank you, whew! the negativity in these comments...🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Haters!
Right🧡
That's exactly what I'm saying too. It's their parents' money at the end of the day, no one can tell them how to spend their money. It's what I notice often, many become bitter about someone who's from a better school or speaks fluent English with a twang -- it seems to rub them the wrong way and they try and attack them. Jealousy is such an evil thing.
List of schools:
10. St Andrew's Girls School
9. St Albans Alwood for Boys
8. Bishop's Diocese College
7. St Mary's School for Girls
6. Kearsney College
5. St John's School
4. Roedean School girls only
3. St Andrew College, all boys

I went to university in the early nineties only to discover the kids that comes from these prestige school...i was so intimidated by these kids who were so polished and only in english...comes 1st test i remember it was a chemistry ... i was so scared cause my English was from KwaMashu ...i was even scared to ask a Lecturer in my poor English..it turned that i was the highest..in fact all students thst pass that test was not from Model C school
Well done for being tge highest but kids from these schools don't really care about that. They want connections and high paying jobs
@@cash4gnumber1c4g7 ...i for one i took all my kids to private school.they have confidence...let tell you this my eldest daughter got hired by an international compay for a part time job ...in the interview she was with 4 graduate but her confidence was different from the other ( Non paying school) she got hired with just Matric and still doing her 1st year degree ...she was getting paid between R8 000 to R10 000 depending on hours she made.
So guys lets be FAIR there is a huge difference...and i vowed i will never take my kids to non paying school.
You met the below average ones!! Live and let live
I was looking for a comment like this 💕
My son is at St Albans College, all thanks to Allan Gray Orbis foundation for taking care of all his expenses. I advice parents to apply for their grade 6 schoolarship. Entry level is level 6. My son is there even though i dont have money.
MMM,this is interesting to know.Thank you.I would love to ship my children from US back to RSA,for few years.
Thanks. Can you please share the criteria for such a scholarship? My niece is 6 and in grade 1 and I'm trying to prep her to be ready for these schools. (On a grade 8 scholarship)
I go over and above homework requirements, I've enrolled her to cycling academy and a rowing club. Next year she needs to start horse riding. I want to make sure she excels in everything so she can get a scholarship... But it would help if someone who has been through the process can share the main criteria.
Thanks
@@busin6388 hey, please check on their site, Allan Gray also loves kids who are entrepreneurial, maybe get her to have a mini business, like selling something age appropriate, like bracelets etc.. get her to be part of giving back to her community, collecting waste around the community with her peers etc..and of course her academics need to be above average!! So she needs to strike a balance between social life and academics! Hope this helps!
Apart from Allan Gray, most of these schools offer music scholarships, I know someone who went to one of the above mentioned schools on scholarships for the Marimba, but this was 15years back or so. So make sure she qualifies for a music scholarship as well, so she's coveted for all the requirements for such scholarships!
Hi.. did your son attend any interviews? How did he get accepted, please assist
@@desireethobakgale4341 yes 3 interviews. The 1st held at limpopo, 2nd at Sandton the last we went to Lynwood (St Albans college). The first one is held at the province where the child is schooling.
The alcohol people are spending their money on, definitely they can afford these fees.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro let’s come down now 😂😂😂
Sure, le bo 'I blew it', wa bona mos
I still believe good schooling begins with good parenting skills. At the end of the day , we meet at lifes' cross roads, where good decisions have to be made, as to what different levels our lives are headed to. We can just call these are schools for priviledged children, but that can never define their success in real life. We agree though that these are good schools but as for me, i say , 'Be hungry for knowledege, read more, be determined, focus more and be invested in whatever you do and be present. You will fly like an eagle and be unstoppable.
100% agree with Xobo Ntlane
These schools are good because of the scholarships they offer and the variety of sports activities💯
And I thought my girls’ future school (a Waldorf school) is expensive at 52k for kindie and 70k for the first year of primary… they’re the best though, so worth it! Just saving up ahead and it’ll be great
It’s not about the school you went to, it’s about the capability and skills grasping mindset…
Agreed, although schools do have a hand in it... networking is a powerful tool
It's both Dude, rich schools enjoy plentiful of resources that poor schools don't have, for instance students from poor government schools don't do physics or biology lab experiment until they are at higher institutions.
They do not know how an atom or a cell looks like under microscope. 99% students do not have an intuition of a vacuum, when teaching them about Newtownian mechanics telling them to assume absence of air friction they always ask, how can you remove air? What's left afterwards? Kids from rich private schools know exactly what is empty space, they can make a vacuum in labs, they know what's an ISS is.
I attend at Stellenbosch University I was the top learner in my rural district but these private school kids make me feel dumb, some come here knowing all the calculus and first level curriculum.
Difference is huge.
Unfortunately south africa has majorly let down it's goverment based student by endlessly reducing the pass rate and making the grades easier and easier to have a "100%" pass rate. I moved over from a private school to a goverment school in grade 7 and i went from barely getting 50% - 60% while studying for hours to getting 90% without studying at all. It is now wonder there are so many people failing university. University is not so forgiving as school. They tend to try and uphold a higher standard.
In this global world which we live in,networking is the biggest achievement which you can ever expose your kid to and these schools automatically give kids a rich network which set them at an advantageous position for the rest of their lives.
@Edit Name so true
Not y'all threatening us with lightning and voodoo😂😂😂
😂😂😂🥲
Although not a top ten school, you should try and include honorable mentions, especially the Drakensberg Boys' School, which is unique.
Thank you. That's a great suggestions. We will be sure to add some honourable mentions on the next video we make.
#TopTenAfrica #ILoveAfrica
my brother went there in 2017
I thought I would see Grey College too
@@lu881 Grey doesn't reach 200k annually just like their neighbor Eunice. But they are one of those respectable schools like Drakensberg,
One can't compare the education at these schools with SA curriculum, they learn about risk management in grade 4 and kid's are so independent and self sustained
I can proudly say I am a product of non paying government (south african)school. As a mathematical, physical science, ect learner I passed with 7 distinction and attended John Hopkins University in Baltimore USA .I am to finish in 2024 and becoming an othropeadic surgeon .I have faced challenges along the way but I have shown them that their privilege doesn't make them superior and I inferior to them.
their parents are clearly earning more than I can dream of. My kids are homeschooled but happy and successful
No, we did not earn lots as parents who sent our children to these schools. I had a payment plan and I worked very hard to ensure I did not spend on anything but my children's education. Covid has exposed us all to the fact that education in the home is of utmost importance. Reading, reading, reading and more reading is what propels learning. Learning through activities inside and outside the home support lifelong learning. Schools are schools and teachers are teachers however how you couple subjects together, how you allow students to take risks and how you encourage them to engage with information will support positive outcomes related to knowledge. Therein social interactions with their community and the world at large are vital. Their awareness of political issues, environmental issues, their wellness and their values in all they do serves them going forward. I would encourage you to link up with IB or PYP or IEYC or EYFS educational systems in your homeschooling. Register with these bodies and support your homeschooling project going forward. Having loving parents who are invested, healthy social interactions and access to music sports and community all add value. I am confident you're doing a sterling job. Perhaps even call these schools and ask them if your child/children can have casual visits or relations or work with their students on community projects going forward and see if they can support you in your homeschooling .... you only know if you ask.
I received a 50% scholarship to Kearsney and my parents worked tooth and nail to send me to that school for which I am very grateful. Even though a great school it still had some major flaws which resulted in me leaving in matric and going to a government school Westville Boys High School which was 1/8 of the price and better in many ways.
Most expensive than UCT, Wits, Stellenbotch annual tuition fee. Kids from these schools are well mannered, have public speaking capabilities, have confidence and are self assured but are too soft as in are not streetwise aka kasi smart. Sadly some of these kids are soft targets for drugs as druglords know that they can easily support their drug habbit eg late Jackson Mthembu son and Angie Motshega who are now drug addict paras roaming around streets of Jozi . Some at these boarding schools experience sexual barrassment, racism, colourism, even sexual molestation so not all glitter is gold
They're not at all street smart, I've found that the more money a family has, the greater the opportunity to become another crime statistic. They live in a bubble of false security until they come face to face with life and are shell shocked back to reality of how wimp ish and pathetic their survival skills are. These people have absolutely NO CLUE about crime and vulnerability and potentially dangerous situations until it's too late. I have a client that lets his 16 yo daughter climb into an Uber at 10. 00 at night?
WHAAAAAAAT?
I rest my case.
You know nothing about Jackson Mthembu family. That boy grew up same street as me and we don't live in an aflluent surbabian. We in deep Kasi
So true
About them getting into drugs I don't know... because statistics say poor people from kasi in roll into drugs easily. You are right since you got proof.
I agree on the sexual harassment and colorism part.
I wish you would include people who have made it & are well accomplished from each of these schools
Accomplished? There are thousands. Famous? There are very few but Maps Maponyane went to St John’s
I received an academic scholarship to attend St Mary's (Waverley). As a person from a previously diasadvantaged background, going to such a prestigious school was a gift. A now 31-year-old with a private education centre where I try my best to give back to kids who come from a similar background to mine.
The Bafokeng king went to Hilton. Some might say he was destined for success, but I say he has worked for it. He has made great strides as king... Employment opportunities, and the mines in his land are for the beneficiation of the people.
Ricky Rick was in Hilton, not 2 sure but Bongani zungu 2
That one which also allows students to contribute to the community sounds like the best to me
Can't wait to take my kids to one of these schools
One day naledy you will

I remember crying in grade 7 because my mum could not afford to take me to Northlands girls high in Durban I made a promise to myself that when a have kids one day will make sure they attend best schools.
Good for you mami. Same. Couldn't go to Northwood but I'll make damn sure my kid goes to Chelsea Prep in Primary.
@@dlamini77 please do that for your child good education is good investment. It's not even the the level of education they get it's the networking, connections they make the confidence they gain etc it's much more than just education
@@nananxumalo1990 Exactly. Goes beyond just the education. For sure.
I once went to write my NBT for engineering at UFS, and when I came in there, I met children who came from these schools.
I don't know what it is about these schools, but the kids from there always seem to have strong presence, they have A LOT of self-confidence, and have quicker minds.
I remember feeling so nervous around these kids who looked like they had not a single worry in life.
I wish went to these schools to get that exposure, but I'm certain in the future, this is where my kids will be going.
This is of topic but when does one usually write a NBT

Knowing that you are an elite can give you that confidence and they are reminded daily about how thier school is the best of the best in South Africa if not Africa
Your wishes are going to turn into reality 🙏
People should stop saying we will meet them in Wits,UCT etc these kids don't go there, they attend the likes of Harvard, Cambridge 90% of them get a lot of distinctions in matric parents should stop saying they will write the same paper in grade 12 the experience is different parents please learn to save and take your kids to good schools no excuse full stop.
Nothing wrong either Wits or UCT. Most South Africans, regardless of which private school they attend will never be in either Harvard or Cambridge anyways.
We have met a lot of these in our varsity life, yes especially at uct sigilana nabo.. With our free high school education..
Actually they do. I met alot of them while I was studying at Wits. It's just that they are more inclined to attend international universities (after all, why waste your O-level certification just to study locally)
Vele we write the same papers
🤣🤣I agree with you, these kids don't attend any of the S.A universities, people are just jealous 😂😂 these schools give quality education no doubt
But at the end of the day it's all about how you do as a student no matter which school

Definitely not for salary earners only. Multiple streams of income is needed!!!
@@khangelwakhathi508 certainly. You need to have Rupert's wealth to afford these schools. Phela these are annual salaries for many of us..decade salaries for others.
Don't worry, I know a girl called Karen she got a scholarship to Roeden, I also know a boy called Joel, he got a Scholarship to St John's and today he is studying Electrical engineering in Wits university which he also got a scholarship in. If you train your daughter to love her books and be hard on her with her school books when she's young, she will grow up loving her books and eventually get a scholarship as well to one of this top schools, and even a top university! 💪Have courage
@@samueltshitoko8443 Thanks for your words of encouragement. It is indeed true. Inculcating a culture of reading is important- not only for pleasure purposes but for knowledge acquisition & better critical thinking...
Hence its said fees not paid from the monthly salaries,you should have a side hustle my friend not nje , most of us these fees are far much above our annual salaries
Y’all will be surprised on how many South Africans are doing high school in the UK. UK high schools attract all the rich kids from all over the world. There were many kids from Africa. Especially Mozambique,South Africa , Botswana and Nigeria . Then the other majority were Asians, Indians and Arabians . If you can afford a school for 500k a year . I’d highly suggest you send your kids abroad
Yesi that's university money mis😅
That is another good option
Nah i disagree, first of all these kids are African and it's better to give them that footing before they go off into the world for university. Average British education is quite shyt, unless u are talking about schools like Eton where the royals send their kids. These South African schools offer world class education in an African setting with old school style disciplinary standards plus a lot of them have religious teachings, I'm not religious myself but i learnt a lot from my old catholic high school. Maybe for university they can go abroad.
That makes a lot of sense💪👌👌👌🙏
I’m not seeing any advantage and a higher cost. Other than possible networking (which tends to be more effective at the university level) why spend the money when the facilities and level of education is as good or better in these South African institutions?
I went to regular Capricorn High Polokwane.Graduated grade 12 with 4 distinctions.Ended in University of Maryland for Bachelor's and MS+PHD in Georgetown University.I found Harvard and Yale Overrated.I love life.

For you yeah 😎
Absolutely nothing wrong with a good model c school.
P.a or monthly?
Imagine your kid still fails Math after paying R330000 😂
LOL. They're not paying for the Maths😇
Most of these schools have 100% pass rates.
Exactly my point expensive schools can’t make you’re child super intelligent
They won’t fail maths paying that much- and it’s a proven fact-
I love Roeden school and hopefully in future my kids will attend the school ..
I'll be taking my boys to one of these schools.
Do you have the money
Playing rugby against one of Hilton, Kearsney or Michaelhouse away was fantastic. You got to have a proper lunch post your game. Coming from a public school those were worth going up to just support the 1st team. Michaelhouse has by far the best schoolboy rugby grounds in kzn (and best lunch).
Yooo🤣that was a good lunch.
Wow. Not even Curro was good enough for this list.
Curro had not stood the test of time, it's a new kid on the block
And Curro is cheap
I would love to take my child to these schools but I am also so scared of the racism that is often reported by former black pupils on news and social media. I don't want to scare my child either.
Racism is everywhere. Media lies to sell stories
I attended Michaelhouse. I can only remember one racist incident. And when I was there, about half the school was non-white.
Inequality is huge in south Africa. Those kids from model C school they ahead of time and have confident than kazi and rural schools . I am talking from experience I went to UJ from rural school . it hard to survive varsity especially if you from rural schools , being in class with them you will feel outclass with your broken English, you cant even ask question in a lecture. worst part I was studying bSC(computer science and informatics) without any coding/programming knowledge with majority of class being kids from model C with so much knowledge about coding because their high school offer coding as subject/module. struggle was real I even once planned to drop out ,somehow I didn't and I survived . statistically speaking most of drop out students are from rural and kazi schools. I am not jealous of those kids their parents work hard for them but reality is that life is not fair.
Education begins in a home. I am a parent who sent my kids to these schools. I have no regrets for sure. I will tell you more than it's all in your readings, your value add to how you make sense of the literature, manners and appreciation of the smallest things in life that are most important wherever you go in this life. I will be the first to admit that education is the most powerful gift you can give your child. That being said, not all children who attend prestigious schools use the opportunities afforded. The fact that you worked so hard and strive at what you desire is what counts. I too attended said schools, I chose to do the same for my own two children and I would encourage anyone to educate their children at home first. Today, I teach around the world. As a teacher, parent and citizen of the world, I think and know for sure family and a sense of belonging first is what grounds people. Focusing on children's emotional and social intelligence in modernity is more important in order for them to arrive and survive in universities sitting alongside anyone and everyone. It's what people do with knowledge acquired to add value to the world that matters in the end.
Most of these kids don't even study in South Africa. They can never be on the same level as a child who went to a local goverment school.
Those kids pass well, wait until you get to student parking lot 🤦🏾♂️ you will be depressed immediately
You forgot to mention African Leadership Academy in Johannesburg with R462552.00 annually but with a wide range of scholarships.
Thank you Carnot Bugenge for your comment, ALA was left out of our list because of the type of curriculum they provide which neither classifies it as a high school or university. In addition, the academic institution provides a 2 year program unlike the other schools on our list.
@@TopTenAfrica
What about the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls?
I'm in grade 11 and attending a month long camp at ALA this winter and I was shocked to see how much it cost to actually go there😳
@@lu881 is OWLAG no fee school targeting girls with exceptional academic and leadership skills from extremely poor families. That is why applications are not open to public but dome through schools where candidates are identified.
They did not mention African Leadership Academy because its black and some people are just not ready for pure black African excellence... African Leadership Academy is a high school that prepares its students for prestigious exams like the Cambridge exam which is very challenging.. I think it's a lame excuse to not include it amongst the top 10
I wish I can send my kids too but.... I'm just a teacher 😭
Here I am thinking Crawford College would be in that Top 10. But the school fees stand in the region of 150k annually. That's almost half compared to the list.
But if that price R150k for Crawford does not include boarding fee, it is also expensive. Almost all the schools in the top 10 are boarding schools and the prices mentioned include boarding fee.
Crawford has beter matric results
In South Africa we call this *kak expensive*
These schools are a fraternity more than anything
😭 I paid R300 in total from creche to Standard 10/Grade 12. I met these guys during my studies at Rhodes University. I envied them for their high self esteem and for being able to order a Debonairs pizza in res. ❤️
If you went to any of these schools your parents were paying for the network. When you older you'd realize that. Cause trust me those networks WORK! But this is an old story in SA. No need to get into obvious things.
Notice how non of the schools mixes boys with girls. Is that a recipe for excellence? Maybe.
No. 1. You’re assuming everyone is straight which is anything but the case. And 2. The only times I’ve seen it be an actual issue is when girls get blamed for guys being poorly raised and sexualising girls and victim-blame when they’re the ones that are being awful.

Wow, boarding schools in Canada costs way more than that and without all those benefits that are in SA. Basic boarding school is above $30 000 .

Wonder what do there students's parents earn and do for a living.with that amount of money imagine all the schools that can be build for the ordinary students.
"Cadets" predates the second world war, and was common all over the Union of South Africa. I was a cadet when at Newcastle High School in 1947. Many of our ex pupils fell on battlefields in North Africa and Italy; most having joined the Natal Carbineers. My father was shot down over Warsaw. It had nothing to do with apartheid.
My son currently attends Michaelhouse! it really is a fabulous school....
The inequality is sickening
I received an academic scholarship to attend St Mary's (Waverley). As a person from a previously diasadvantaged background, going to such a prestigious school was a gift. A now 31-year-old with a private education centre where I try my best to give back to kids who come from a similar background to mine. So I must disagree with your comment as there are wonderful organisations who have worked for decades to provide a greater sense of equity than there has been in the past.
@@zaara5274 SA is one of the most socially and economically unequal countries in the world. Access to good education and skills training should be available to all and not just to a lucky minority. Lack of access widens the inequality gap.
I forget to tell you guyz in these Elite School they add languages like Spanish, French etc..
My daughter is doing Zulu, English and French...
I wish my unborn daughter can attend one of these schools
From your lips to God's ears.
Me too❤️
I think only born people can attend these schools.
Wow 😳
And, here I have been thinking Red Hill (in Johannesburg) is expensive 😅
It is expensive just not most expensive 😂
I've had the privilege of visiting Rodhean private school. OMG! A heaven on earth. It's not a school you walk into everyday. The girls from the school are super polite. They address their teachers as 'madam' in a very Englishy English accent lol. They have this super cool well where they stream animals online. Wow, just wow.
Went to St Johns College. Greatest experience of my life
My kids are in this schools...I claim it now😌😌😌😌
Yaaas! Manifestation! Love it.
School in South Africa is the best I miss it
I am born in South Africa..its first time I heard of these schools!!!
That’s crazy 🤣 you don’t read much?
😂☺️
More Boys schools in this top ten few would have loved to see more mixed schools.
I mean, if you can afford to send your kid there... why not? 😂 Academic tutoring, proper sport coaching, networking and learning to be more independent, confident & unrestricted. Your kid only needs to be ambitious enough to take full advantage of the opportunity.
There are times in class i daydream about going to these schools 😢
7:26 oath on my life that is my cousin with the red hair, hits crazy to see him on UA-cam!
What I hate is that there isn't a single mixed school...it's all either strictly for boys or strictly for girls
@Edit Name lol good point. Best abstinence is absence
why do you hate this?
Education should be free PERIOD, then you get a job an pay your taxes
300 thousand rands is equivalent to 17 thousand in US dollars lol think I would send my kids to South Africa honestly more affordable then the average us college unlike Stanford where it’s 57 thousand US dollars in South Africa that’s 971 Rands lol
I knew Hilton would top em...I just knew it.
Ive worked at Roedean, St Johns & Saint Andrews SFG.
My brother goes to king Edwars and when we go past st John's looks like harypoter 😂😂😂
Uniform yako Hilton nkare ke di prison wardener😂😂
you forgit AISJ (american international school of johannesburg) fees (30k usd)
I go to Kearsney
😅😅😅😅at that mina I through curo it's expensive 🙆🙆🙆🙆. Taking your children to these schools with one stream of income might be a bad idea. One lady lost her job due to covid and annually R100k plus and now she's struggling financially 😢
My kids will go to one of these schools
Interesting video. Would have loved to have heard a more critical view of these schools and the role they play. Having gone to one of them, I can tell you one of their roles is to mould the next generation ruling class. (One minor criticism is that your pronunciation of the names was often wrong. As I said a minor criticism.)
There are too many South African based videos with an American Narrator. Why😭
They use a type of program/software, usually AI for the commentary/narration. It's not a real person doing the narration.
@@_theerealnono_7694 there's a human decision behind it
One day is One day ✍📖🏫
The international school of South Africa mahikeng should be here
Wow here we are crying with St Stithians fees 🤣. Good to know 🙏🏿
Like the sense of humour
Wow I thank God🙏🙏
Wa Tswana we all go to the same Universities bafwethu😂😂😭
.....and am here thinking that Grantleigh College in Richards Bay is way expensive.🤣
At least politicians children can afford.
Marlow agricultural school
Top two schools just up the road from each other in KZN.
Ricky rick used to attend the most expensive school in south Africa 🤘
Yes Ricky went to Hilton, AKA once mentioned that. Eish in one of the comments above one person mentioned that Hilton is largely unbiblical
