Back in da days I remember my firstday @ school in 1996,My mom had made my school uniform by herself.
We wore green dungaree,white shirts,green&white tie and green jerseys.

We had to make row according to our classes,boys on the right and girls on the left
Days wen we still had radio lessons @ 10am everyweek day and get whipped for arriving @ school late
We sang national anthem every friday in the morning after the Lord's Prayer which was like a rastation not actually a prayer

Days when we had to have our hair cut short all year round for all the years spent in primary school

On tuesdays and thursdays we had wat is called "ka Bible." Where the story of Noah and the Ark was planted in our minds.

Childhood was great;

Our teachers had nicknames only known to the students
I got bullied tho and had to run home everyday after school for 2years because the girl who bulied me was rumoured to have a drug lord as a father so I didn't dare touch her.My prayers were answered wen she left for another school.

I learned how to speak english there,how to read aloud,because of my shyness I always got spanked for refusing to read aloud in class

OH!I forgot wen we celebrated Moshoeshoe's day on the 11th of march every year.Lovely cultural dances from different schools in the district.On that day all we ate,sang,talked,danced and did was Sesotho tradition...gone r those days wen nothing matters to you
