Rhyle Adams, a Grade 9 learner at Klein Nederburg Secondary, recently participated in the South African Spelling Bee. He walked away as the senior champion of the competition. The South African Spelling Bee, a flagship programme of A Better Africa Foundation, brought together talented young spellers from across the country to showcase their exceptional language skills. This year’s competition was hailed as the most competitive ever by CEO Roger Dickinson. Adams’ achievement marks a significant milestone for the Western Cape, demonstrating the province’s commitment to academic excellence. The event took place at Sun City last weekend. Rhyle now forms part of Team South Africa, which consist out of six top spellers. They will represent South Africa in Abuja, Nigeria for the African Spelling Bee Championship from 18 tot 22 December.
