Speaking to the Herald in an interview, the organiser of the event, Hugh Phokojoe, said that the event was a great success and that a total of 35 people attended.
“We were celebrating 50 since we all left Phahama High School, which was a secondary school back in 1973. We felt that 50 years of having left school and coming together again and just seeing each other after such a long time is a milestone.
“It was great to see one another. Others still look good and others are struggling health-wise but by the grace of God, they are still with us,” said Phokojoe, who added that one of their teachers was also present on the day.

She, unfortunately, couldn’t remember them due to old age but was delighted to have been present at the gathering.
Meanwhile, one of the learners from the class of 1973, Simon Phage, said that he too had an amazing time at the reunion.
“It was great reconnecting after 50 years and I had a wonderful time. A special thanks to the organising team. I look forward to our next catch-up,” said Phage.
While the festivities of the day went ahead in a joyous mood, sadly a total number of 23 men and 12 women have since passed on from the class of 1973.
