Now she has been admitted at the University of Zimbabwe to study for an accounting degree.
Maud’s unique talent earned her a US$9,933 scholarship from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority Chairman’s Charity Fund.
She told the ZBC: “It’s only God who saw me through what some people might think is abnormal.”
She lost her dad aged just five, and days after she sat her exams last December, her mum also died.
Her brother, Gilbert, said his sister had pulled off the astonishing feat through sheer commitment and discipline.
So determined to succeed, he said, they feared she would go mad.
“We thought she would just lose her mind on the way, but she stood the test of time. We hope God will continue to lead her,” he said.
Maud sat the Grade 7 exam at the age of 10 after teachers decided to make her skip some Grades due to her astonishing progress.
When she got to O-Level, her school allowed her to skip two Forms — turning a four-year programme into two. Now she stands on the verge of fulfilling her dream of earning a degree and finding work to lift her siblings and relatives from biting poverty. — New Zimbabwean.
