Hjalmar, originally from Riebeeck Kasteel, initially matriculated with a Cambridge matric equivalent at the age of 12, after his father, Heinrich Rall took him out of school in Grade 5.
Hjalmar’s father gave up his full-time job for a part-time job to homeschool him which paid off as the youngster matriculated and completed a post-matric level of studies in three years.
“He will be doing his honours degree in 2020,” Heinrich told Pretoria East Rekord on Wednesday evening.
