Reverend Thokozani Mthembu, who is a minister of Manning Road Methodist, was also in attendance and opened the morning in prayer. This was followed by an explanation about the history of the country and the province.
“The children sang two songs followed by the National Anthem to set the tone for the items being presented by each class. Each class performed either a song, poem or dance expressing their culture. It was very clear that the children were enjoying themselves as they performed for each other and our guests of honour,” Lukan added.
