Prizes galore for top ICS student

MANDISA MAKETA was named this year’s SA
Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers top student
for scoring the highest average mark for all
subjects passed in the professional qualifying
exams. She took home the Safmarine floating
trophy, a cheque for R1500, as well as the
Garlicke & Bousfield Book Prize for R1000
for having passed Legal Principles of Shipping
Business with the highest mark – in fact,
she was the only SA candidate to obtain a
distinction in this subject.
Thirteen prizes in various categories were
presented to students who achieved the
highest marks in the April 2007 exams.
As always, five Understanding Shipping
bursaries were handed to Pat Brooker,
maritime studies teacher at New Forest High
School.
