The 2015 Pan African Mathematics Olympiad was held in Abuja, Nigeria, in August. A new feature of the event was the introduction of a special section for girls, PAMO-G. Instead of sending the usual a team of four, countries were invited to enter a team of three boys and three girls.
Eight countries took part: Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, South Africa, Senegal, Tunisia, with 35 contestant altogether.
The South African team was:
Girls:
Hannah Clayton (grade 11, Rustenburg Girls' High School)

Glenda Watt (grade 11, Durban Girls’ College)
Boys:
Arthur Qampi (grade 11, Star College, Durban)

Jianliang Yu (grade 10, Crawford College, Pretoria)
Team Leader: Liam Baker (University of Stellenbosch)
Deputy Team Leader: Dylan Nelson (University of Cape Town)
The girls and boys wrote the same papers.
In the overall individual ranking, SangEun came second, winning a Gold Medal and Tim came 4th, winning a Silver Medal. Jianliang (13th), Glenda (14th) and Arthur (17th) won Bronze Medals.
In the PAMO-G ranking, SangEun came first, winning a Gold Medal and the title Queen of African Mathematics. Hannah took 3rd place, winning a Silver Medal, and Glenda came 7th, winning a Bronze Medal.
In the overall team ranking, Nigeria was ranked top with 156 points, with South Africa second on 129 and Tunisia 3rd, with 84 points.
But the result was controversial. The score sheet revealed that after the papers had been written and marked, two of the Nigerian girls with low scores had been replaced in the team by two boys who had taken part as unofficial entries, but had higher scores. Had the Nigerians observed the rules, their team of three boys and three girls would have scored 124 points, 5 points behind South Africa.
