Kgomotso Children Centre

Fun drive and fun day

This Youth Day KCC took it to another level. Two trucks and a dozen cars lined up for a fun drive through Soshanguve and Winterveld. After the drive celebrations went on.

The last years KCC had been starting youth day with a long march through Block NN. This year the fun walk became a fun drive. Children and youth of KCC had dressed up in 1976 style vintage wear. They found their place on top of the two trucks while other guests had come with their cars to join the drive. The were accompanied by a brass band which would play all the way long. Singing and dancing they made their way through Soshanguve and Winterveld attracting many surprised spectators along the road. It was an event people had probably never seen, before.

After two hours the drive came to an end at the sports ground between Block NN and Block LL. People gathered now to enjoy speeches and performances of KCC kids. Dances, singing and acting went on all afternoon. In the end an astounding Sarafina performance was the perfect final of an amazing day. It gave KCC kids to opportunity to show all their talents that they are so well-known for.
