I felt relief, pride and gratitude all at once. Seeing the results brought tears of happiness and a deep sense of accomplishment for her and everyone who supported her,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Zinhle\u2019s success is the result of consistent effort and discipline over the years.<\/p>\n<p>He praised her character just as much as her academic performance, noting that she has always remained grounded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe put in the study hours and stayed committed. As a person, she is kind, respectful and determined. She cares about her family and honours those who helped her along the way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Family played a central role in shaping her journey.<\/p>\n<p>Leeroy highlighted the sacrifices made by Zinhle\u2019s mother, the lasting influence of her late grandmother and the encouragement she received from close friends and mentors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuccess like this is never just one person\u2019s; it\u2019s a collective effort,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>After congratulating her on the achievement, Leeroy encouraged his daughter to enjoy the moment while keeping her focus on what lies ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Zinhle is set to begin her LLB in law, and her father has already offered guidance on navigating university life, from time management and disciplined study habits to staying involved on campus and prioritising self-care.<\/p>\n<p>Education, Leeroy says, is a cornerstone in their family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducation is the key to opportunity and progress. We celebrate academic achievements and support one another in pursuing learning because we know the long-term benefits for the individual and the whole family,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on fatherhood, he admitted that Zinhle\u2019s achievement left him both proud and humbled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt reminds me of the sacrifices made and the importance of being present and supportive. It also renews my sense of responsibility to continue guiding and supporting her through university and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also shared words of encouragement for other parents and matriculants across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents, believe in and support your children; your encouragement, sacrifices and presence matter. Matriculants, be proud of what you\u2019ve achieved, plan ahead, stay disciplined and keep learning. Remember, one set of results doesn\u2019t define your entire future; it\u2019s a stepping stone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Leeroy #Sidambe #celebrates #daughter #Zinhles #matric #success<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Leeroy Sidambe celebrates daugher\u2019s matric success Businessman and socialite Leeroy Sidambe is marking a proud parenting milestone after his&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47386,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47385"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47387,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47385\/revisions\/47387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
