Author's Review
Currently Thekwane high school has one of the best pass rates in the country and they have been doing an exceptional job at pushing their students to their potential best level. They have a wonderful sports program that produces some of the finest athletes in Zimbabwe.
The only downside with them is that which is being faced by most elite boarding schools which is the lack of maintaining infrastructures but in a nutshell we are impressed by their current place.
