Following the handover of the Siyandisa Foundation Scholarships in Bloemfontein, the Bloemfontein Courant newspaper proclaimed the study as well as personal support the bursaries provide the learners with, as unique compared to any other scholarship programme in South Africa.
Courant highlighted the personal story of Emmanuel Mofammere from Lenyora la Thuto school in Botshabelo, who initiated a "camping project" at the school to enable the learners to work together as a team, and thereby produce better academic results.
