Matric Dance Gran goes in Shwe shwe
There is a lovely story in the news today about a boy who took his grandmother to his matric farewall as a thank you for looking after him since his parents died. A lovely enough story on its own- made even more special by the dress he had made for her. Wish we had a full length image of the dress, but from the picture I can see that its made of shwe shwe with elaborate stitching on the bodice
Dress made for her in secret
Every time, he answered that he was taking "a very special person". He even had a dress made for her in secret.
Thulani said: "We took her measurements while she was sleeping. I gave her the dress two days before the matric farewell. Fortunately, she liked it."
