He matriculated in 1950 from King Edward VII School in Johannesburg in the first class, with a distinction in English, an early reflection of his well-known talent for writing. His leadership qualities were already well developed, as he was Deputy Head Boy and captain of cricket, athletics, 1 st rugby team, and in 1950 the Transvaal Schools Nuffield XI. He was awarded the Old Edwardian Society Scholarship. Upon leaving school, Jim studied veterinary science at Onderstepoort, University of Pretoria, graduating in 1955. His wife-to-be, Patricia, was studying physiotherapy at the University of Pretoria at the same time, and they were married in September 1956. >>> 22 24-Hour, Toll-Free Helpline (manned by psychologists, social and frontline healthcare workers): 0800 21 21 21
