2015 Rag CS brings joy and cheer to community
2015-02-04
This hard work reached a climax when all the 2015 Rag floats – all themed ‘Video Games’ and ‘City Icons’ – were judged on the Saturday morning of 31 January. Afterwards the floats departed for the first procession of the day en route to the Twin City Mall where 10 000 meals were distributed to the Heidedal and Mangaung communities. The ever popular public procession continued through the streets of Bloemfontein later that day, when the decorated floats and students cradling collection tins proceeded to the Chevrolet Park cricket stadium.
Karee, Wag-‘n-Bietjie and Sonnedou were this year’s overall Rag CS winners, as well as the float-building winners in Pool A, while JBM, Wel-Wel and Marjolein took first place for float building in Pool B.
