Poster for the event

DED Soshanguve Campus had a spring day celebration event on Friday the 09th of September 2022 at TCE stadium. Together Maebela, the admin assistance of DED Soshanguve campus said that they decided to do a spring day celebration simply because of the season.

“We also wanted to do something that would cool the students down before they start with their assessment,” said Together Maebela.

DED is an extra curriculum that each semester does activities that entertain students simply to give them a break from academics.

Taking part in water splash game

Students came in numbers to the event to welcome spring in style. Different games were at hand. Games such as water slides, balloon games, colour splash and others were played.

Onthatile Mosako, DED Ambassador mentioned that the event was all about fun and welcoming spring. The immense highlight of the entire event was when the students participated in different games. When students were really distressing, it showed that they aligned to the motive of the event.

The event was without any hesitation a success, a bit of disappointment was when the system pump could not operate, that resulted as a failure for setting the water slides. But at a moment later, everything was on the right track.

Students at hand for flour game

 “So far we are still enjoying the games, we started with balloon game then we came to colour splash, we are still going to do many more others until the sunset,” excitedly said Xebile Sithole, DED supporter.

Lerato Mothoa, one of the participants mentioned that Unfamiliar faces were seen, different people were interacting, and memories were made. She went further to say that the event was one of the greatest, it was a good destruction, and it was honestly fun.

With a smile on his face, Towers Resident student Ashley Ntuli said that apart from the games, the music was on another level. “I honestly enjoyed the playlist; it was such a vibe and we indeed had fun,” he added.

Truly speaking fun time is a need, from the event I realised the value of taking some time off academics and distress a bit. The games were so therapeutic and heart-warming.
