From Zero to Hero: The Inspiring Journey of Eric W. Ngobeni

In the heart of Humulani Village, a tale unfolds,
Of a young soul named Eric W. Ngobeni, brave and bold.
His path at Baranuka Secondary School was marked,
By a tumultuous journey, both dark and stark.

Lost and seeking, he yearned for true friendship's embrace,
But fell into the clutches of bad groups, a misplaced chase.
Cigarettes and alcohol became his misguided guide,
During school hours, his dreams began to slide.

Four times he repeated Grade 10, a cycle of despair,
Realizing the wrong path, burdened with a heavy share.
In search of solace, he called upon the divine,
Inviting God's grace, hoping for a sign.

His plea was answered, a beacon of light emerged,
Eric became the President, his purpose now surged.
Learner Representative Counselor, a position of might,
Leading with integrity, shining with inner light.

Through district and provincial poetry competitions, he soared,
Two trophies proudly won, his talents adored.
Baranuka Secondary School engraved on the map,
Mr. MJ Mushwana, bursting with pride, a thunderclap.

Today, his trophies grace the principal's domain,
A symbol of triumph, where dreams forever remain.
From zero to hero, a transformation so clear,
Eric W. Ngobeni's story inspires, dispelling fear.
