Breaking barriers: Jivana Bisetty, the first blind pupil in SA Maths Challenge Top 10
Post
|November 12, 2025
TEN-YEAR-OLD Jivana Bisetty has made history as the first visually-impaired pupil to reach the Top 10 in the South African Maths Challenge (SAMC).
Despite her visual impairment, the Crawford International La Lucia pupil's extraordinary numerical abilities and determination have earned her national recognition, proving that passion and perseverance can overcome any obstacle When Jivana tackles a maths problem, she does not just see numbers - she feels them, understands their rhythm, and turns them into patterns of possibility.
Jivana is the first blind pupil ever to reach the Top 10 in the competition's history. Yet, behind this extraordinary feat lies a young girl's unbreakable love for learning.
"My love for maths has inspired me to try harder examples. I make mistakes along the way but I continue to learn from these mistakes. I attempt each question in a very logical manner, breaking down the question, simplifying it, and sometimes even working backwards to find the answer," she said.
