OWN CORRESPONDENT
Gabriel, in Grade 11 at King David Victory Park, has been knocking at the door of greatness for several years. He has been selected consistently for top school and provincial teams, and has featured prominently in individual speaker points rankings. But he never relented in his pursuit of South African debating colours, and now, his tenacity has been rewarded.
Gabriel is one of five debaters from across South Africa selected for the South African team. Because he is so humble, few people are aware of the countless hours and weekends Gabriel devotes to debating. We are very proud of him, and wish him well in Croatia.
