IN PICTURES | First Day Of 2019

By HeraldLIVE - 10 January 2019

The Herald photographers went to schools around Nelson Mandela Bay to capture the first step of grade ones into the formal academic system, with parents comforting their children, and teachers helping the new pupils settle in on their first day at Pendla Primary school in New Brighton, Emsengeni Primary in Zwide and Westering Primary School.

It was a proud moment for Settlers Park Primary mom Soleka Nyido taking her children Asivile,6, starting frade R, and Sulonke,7, starting grade 1, to school on Wednesday.
