Rapper AKA received an education at St John’s College, unlike Riky Rick at Hilton College. Cassper Nyovest sat in class at Sol Plaatjie Secondary. Nasty C moved around Strelitzia Secondary and Durban High, and Emtee spent teenage years at Barnato Park High to get those grades.

Billionaire Johann Rupert is a Paul Roos Gimnasium alumnus, whereas Patrice Motsepe went to Tsogo High. Politician Julius Malema studied at Mohlakaneng High, but Mmusi Maimane attended Allen Glen High. Podcaster Mac G roamed Hyde Park High, and Minnie Dlamini represents Northlands Girls’ High.
