Naledi Aphiwe is beaming with pride after passing her matric exams with a bachelor's pass.

The 18-year-old singer, who studied at Khethokuhle Secondary, took to her Instagram on Monday to share her exam number accompanied by the caption: "Beauty with brains."

Celebrating her triumph, Naledi also shared an emotional tribute to her late mother. In a poignant post, she shared a picture of her late mother in a hospital bed with the caption:  "Mama I made it."

Previously speaking to TshisaLIVE, Naledi said school is her number one priority regardless of her having made a name for herself as a singer.

“I do well at school. Because I do well I can juggle both. I've always wanted to be a singer. I want to pass my matric with symbol B and during the school holidays push music and do projects with a few artists.

“I'd like to start the process of applying to pursue music and drama at a university or private institution."

She has since changed her tune, saying she might take a gap year and move to Johannesburg to pursue her music career.
