Also surprised by all these articles. But your point made me realise that most people didn't do accounting in high school like I did (also a South African). I wonder what some other uncommon high school curriculums from other parts of the world are.
In retrospect I wish what we learnt in High School was more focussed on personal finance than essentially constantly doing double entry data capture.
