On responsibility, school spirit and his final year at DSJ.
Mohapi Thapedi is DSJ's head boy, navigating his Matric year between exams, prefect meetings and one-on-ones with Mrs Döring. The call to the front of assembly came as a complete surprise — what really got him was finding out his mother had quietly come to school for it. He doesn't see his job as policing students but as a bridge between learners and school management, and is currently working with the prefects on ways to lift school spirit through ideas like flash mobs and pre-event clue drops.
