Growing tomorrow’s leaders

4th March 2025

Isuzu Motors South Africa is proud to continue as the co-title sponsor for The Herald Isuzu Schools Quiz, an initiative which aims to foster development in literacy and to stimulate learner cognisance.

Now in its fifth year, The Herald Isuzu Schools Quiz continues to offer young people a valuable opportunity to develop essential life skills, such as general knowledge and a grasp of current affairs, which are crucial for their future success.

“We believe in collaborations that create value and drive mutual growth for all stakeholders. Our commitment to education aims to equip learners and to prepare them for the future,” says Celestin Ndhlovu, vice president for planning, marketing, and corporate affairs at Isuzu. “The Herald Isuzu Schools Quiz provides an ideal opportunity for learners to work as a collective while broadening their knowledge in diverse topics that affect our local and international communities. We are excited to once again witness how participants will put their diverse talents, solid preparation, and teamwork on display during the 2025 edition of the quiz.”

In 2024, the quiz saw a record 52 schools and just under 200 learners from around Nelson Mandela Bay compete for the grand prize over a three-week period. This was preceded by an intense seven weeks of preparation.

“The Herald Isuzu Schools Quiz has become an event pupils look forward to every year and we are eager to see many more schools taking part. Every year the bar is raised when it comes to the number of schools entering. The quality of the competition and the excitement from pupils who are determined to win is very evident. We have seen how it lifts the spirits and the profiles of our schools”, says The Herald editor, Rochelle de Kock.

Entries to The Herald Isuzu Schools Quiz are open to high school pupils from the Nelson Mandela Bay and Kouga municipal districts. Prize hampers valued at more than R260,000 are at stake, as well as R35,000 in cash for the three top schools.

Schools may enter submissions to The Herald offices at The Atrium Centre, 24 Ring Road, Greenacres, via email to pillayt@theherald.co.za, or online at www.bit.ly/schoolquiz25. Entries must be submitted before 12pm on Tuesday 25 March 2025.
