Lusitania Youth Development secretary Nonkululeko Simelane said they decided to go to Lusitania Primary School because ‘this is the school we also went to’. “We asked the principal to allow us to come on Monday, which was the holiday, because we didn’t want to disturb teaching and learning,” said Simelane.
Speaking on behalf of the parents, Mr Hadebe said they are very grateful for what the local youth have done. “We wish them well in their future endeavours, as they have shown that they care about their community.”
