New Germany Primary School principal Dennis Singh said the morning went smoothly although they were still wrapping up a few things.
“Most of the children have settled in, and we have extended our school – we have eight new classrooms and eight new teachers. Unfortunately, our Grade One classes are full, but we still have space for Grades R, Five, Six and Seven,” he said.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
