Peter Brookstein
"I am a friendly and outgoing person who enjoys indulging in extreme sports and outdoor adventure's. I'm currently completing my BSc. Electrical Engineering degree (Information Eng Option) through Wits, and I enjoy tough challenges from intense problem solving to making an effort to go out on winter weekends in order to snowboard in Africa."

 

Rantho Malekgene (Sonia)
"I am my own person, I believe in what I believe in and keep going for what I dream of achieving, I sometimes see through people so it makes it hard to be carefree, since this is my wish to just live life like nothing matters, but once I open myself to people I want it to stay that way but if this does not work I just detach. I think I am an idealist sometimes but not getting the ideal in life does not discourage me. I believe in the impossible which usually become possible, in the cases that they don't become possible it is usually because I found a something more intriguing and challenging."

Thato Selebogo
" I am currently studying Bsc(Eng)(Electrical) at Wits University and I am excited to be part of the JCSE Student Internship Programme. I am passionate about using technology (especially electronics and IT) to improve lives in the third world. In my spare time I  read, watch soccer and movies. I also enjoy long distance running."

Palesa mokwena
