Crawford International Pretoria was buzzing with excitement on Tuesday, 9 September, when one of South Africa’s premier radio breakfast shows, 947’s Anele and the Club, broadcast live from our sports field. The day kicked off bright and early at 06:00 with games, quizzes, and prizes that had everyone involved. From Grade 0000 to Grade 12, our students embraced the challenge—taking part in games of chance, mental agility, and physical skill. The atmosphere was vibrant, colourful, and filled with energy, bringing the entire Crawford International Pretoria community together. A special highlight of the morning was a surprise performance by renowned South African singer, songwriter, and record producer Jeremy Loops, joined on stage by Sibongiseni of the legendary Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Their live performance was nothing short of unforgettable. And to top it all off—we won R50 000 for our school! It was a day to remember, showcasing our unique spirit, talent, and stories to the whole of Gauteng. We truly showed what it means to be #ProudlyCrawfordian.
