YOUNG children from Alexandra, east of Joburg enjoyed the ride of a lifetime in a limousine.
Sinothando Day Care grade R pupils were treated to an unforgettable time of their lives when they were driven in a limousine to their graduation ceremony.
On Saturday, 9 December, the grade R graduates were driven from the creche premises in Far East Bank to Skeen Primary School in Alexandra.
Sinothando Day Care principal Thandi Luruli said they bid farewell to 30 grade R pupils who will start primary school in 2024.
