Sheppie Secondary’s 40th class reunion a night to remember

The task team certainly created a memorable event that fostered nostalgia, strengthened bonds, rekindle friendships and reconnecting with their past.

Forty years on and Port Shepstone Secondary’s class of 1985 looked like they had literally walked out of the school gates at their reunion at the Wild Coast Sun Casino and Holiday Resort recently.

The task team (back, from left) Bheem Rajmoney, Linda Govender, Vasa Moonsamy, Evelin Naicker and Sadha Moodley, with Dan Moodley, Vanessa Paul, Linda Rathnam, Hajra Moosa and Jessie Rampersadh in front.

For 77 of them, this gathering was a chance to reconnect with friends they had not seen for many years. It was also a time to share stories of their primary and high school years.

Some travelled from Cape Town, Johannesburg, East London, Durban, Pietermaritzburg as well as many locals from Port Shepstone.

The entertainment, from live singing and deejaying with Denver Pillay, and the food were top-notch. It was an unforgettable night that will be remembered for years to come. The attention to detail from the décor, gifts and commitment by the event coordinators, was clearly evident.

Guest speaker, Jonathan Naidoo, a former teacher said he and his wife, Zuzana thoroughly enjoyed the event.

“The kind gesture of thinking of assisting the terminally ill at South Coast Hospice is highly commendable and the Class of 85 deserves to take a bow.”
