The winner of the primary school division of the competition is Danie Jacobs (back, second from the left) from Jim Fouché Primary School in Bloemfontein. With his winning project “play traditional”, an initiative to get children to play again, he marketed the ingredients for amongst others tip cat (kennetjie) in a little bag. In the second place (front, left) was a group from Koot Niemann Primary School, east of Bloemfontein: Candice Storm, Megan Reep, Chantelle Julius, Shunelle Vorster en Kornisha van Staden.
