Wynberg Counted Into the Busy Schedules of Ministers Asmal and Manuel

Shirley Harding and Keith Richardson, Principals of the Wynberg High Schools welcomed Ministers Asmal and Manuel to Wynberg Boy's High on 18 September in a joint assembly of the junior pupils of both schools.The Ministers of Finance and Education were at the school to promote the Census 2001 amongst our students.

Highlighting the importance of gathering information about the citizens of South Africa so that effective planning on the part of the government can take place, Ministers Asmal and Manuel took to the stage in part of a very entertaining roadshow.

Not to be outdone by the Census Roadshow currently visiting schools in the Western Cape, the students of Grades Eight and Nine from the Wynberg Schools also performed for the Ministers visiting them. The boys presented an item they had been working on in their Arts and Culture lessons, but it was the girls who stole the show with one of their dances from Ms Mpambo's Xhosa Concert. Wearing the promotional T-shirts with the "Count Us In" logo and their brown skirts, these vibrant and talented dancers won the hearts of all. While the boys were bowled over,   the delight on Mr Richardson's and the Ministers' faces is equally plain to see.

Minister Asmal was warm in his commendation of these splendid girls to Mrs Harding at the end of their performance.
