Annilin Mouton grew up in Kranshoek where she attended Kranshoek Primary school. When she was in primary school, she joined the Born in Africa program already and we remember her very fondly as the girl with the two long ponytails! Academically Annilin was very strong and this enabled her to qualify for the Born in Africa Wittedrift Study bursary. This, despite having lost her mother at a very tender age. High school for Annilin was sensitive at times as she continued to struggle with the loss of her mother. Digging deep and finding the courage, was hard work, yet brought victory when Annilin graduated from high school in 2023. In 2024, she commenced her nursing studies at the Emmanuel Nursing College in Oudtshoorn. She completed this 1- year course and obtained her Higher Certificate. This was just the beginning of a journey as a dream for Annilin, one which she has never given up on, in the same manner we have always seen the courage from within her. In 2025 she commenced her course online to become a Social Auxiliary Worker through CEFA. Once she completed this, she’ll obtain her Occupational Cerficiate. We believe in you, Annilin!
Update 2026: qualification obtained: Occupational certificate: Social Auxiliary Worker (CEFA)
We are incredibly proud to announce that finally our Annilin has made her dream come true. By working incredibly hard the last 3 years, she has finally been accepted into studying her dream career which is Nursing. Annilin did not have Life Science at school as a subject and this proved itself a huge steppingstone to overturn, but finally she did it. Annilin is now studying a 3-year National Diploma in Nursing at the Netcare school of Nursing in Belville, Cape Town. This facility is located near the world-famous teaching hospital which is the Tygerberg hospital. The majority of other universities in the area also use this hospital as their training facility, which means Annilin have incredible opportunities to work alongside the cream of the South African medical fraternity. We are just over the moon that she is going to sport her nursing epilettes one day. A small seed was planted many years ago, a seed so strong that Annilin has managed to nurture and now is flourishing. All the best to you Annilin for not only this year, but the next three years! Your mom is now smiling, looking down at you from above and you have made her heart happy. We are incredibly fortunate to be representing you and call you one of our own!
