The entrance hall was decked out for the day

Karen and the Zonnebloem centre flew the SA flag proudly on Thursday. The school celebrated by singing "Happy Birthday' to Madiba at 8.00am in the morning, along with the rest of the country. I wonder how many other schools added the fun 'How old are you now?' verse? The boys' school did, very heartily.... 94 today!
