Back to school
After 3 weeks of Winter Holidays, learners returned to school today.
This was evident in the increased traffic on the roads this morning. Event thought businesses remain open over the winter period, a number of people do take leave during this time, and most people who are still working travel slightly later as they do not need to drop off the kids.
The holiday period provided rather pleasant weather, with the coldest day being around 15 degrees Celsius, but most days being around 20. This weather was not only enjoyed by the learners, but helped provide an even bigger boost to the tourism industry – which enjoys greater volumes during the holidays.
Now it’s back to the books for learners as they take on the third term, with the next holidays being the short September holiday, starting on 21 September.
