Oktoberfest at the Deutsche Schule Pretoria

How it started:
Parents started in 1977 to organise a fundraiser – one of the fathers took up a bond in order to finance the event, as the school did not want to take such a risk. Today the school lays out more than a million Rand in order to put up this fest. It is its biggest fundraiser of the year and is possible only with the help of all parents, teachers and staff.

Band from Germany: “Frankenland-Gädheim”
