About Me:
Hey, I’m Sven. I attended a lovely German Co-Ed School situated in
the KZN Midlands just outside of Greytown, called Hermannsburg
School or Deutsche Schule Hermannsburg. After growing up in a
German-speaking family and relocating to Germany, I decided to
return to SA to complete my Matric in 2020. I not only passed the
DSD 2 C1 Language Diploma with 96% but also scored 98% for
German in my Matric Certificate.
