It’s matric ball season, and Grade 12 learners across the country are celebrating the end of their school journey in style — with glamorous outfits, memorable moments, and lifelong friendships on full display.
For many, the matric dance is more than just a formal event — it’s a rite of passage, marking the transition from high school to adulthood. After years of hard work, exams, and late-night study sessions, the event offers learners a well-deserved evening of joy, celebration, and reflection.
People’s Post asked readers to send us photos of their special day.
