At least an hour before the service the town hall, which has a seating capacity of 800, was packed.

AMANZIMTOTI High School pupils had their school routine interrupted on Tuesday morning, when a bomb threat was made to the school.
Pupils were evacuated from the school and the police were called in.
“The police were here very quickly,” said headmaster Dave Seager. The pupils moved out of the school and the police searched the area. “The entire procedure took about 20 minutes,” he said. He added that the school practised emergency procedures on a regular basis and it was obvious by Tuesday’s performance that the pupils were ‘in tune’.
