Welcome to our new school. We are going to be taking

great strides this year.

Lebu and Veli have had a wonderful holiday showing their new friend, Thandi, around Hillbrow. But now the holidays are over. It is time for the twins to go to their new school - Stride Universal College. Our story begins on the first day of term... Hey! Big ears, put

your head down.I can’t see a thing!

HAAI!

Do you think this is the right place, Veli?

Sure thing. Hi, Gorgeous! It’s like this all over, my friend.

I always say travel makes the man. I want to encourage you to go on a great journey of

discovery. You must undertake great expeditions in education!

I think he wants us to leave!

Sounds like good advice to me.

Heyta majita! I’m Veli and this is Lebu.

My name is Thabi...

... and this is my snake, Timi.

You must move forward with fearless steps...YO! A snake!

Hau!

Gona!

How are we ever going to learn anything in this

place?

What’s the matter, Thandi? You look upset. The schools

are all full. I’ll never get in

now!

Well, you’ve got your Standard 8. Go out

to work!

AU!

When I was a young man, girls didn’t get an education. They stayed at home

and worked.

But, Grandfather, times have changed. Today it’s important for everybody to get an education.

As important as lobola?

CHOKE!

Without Matric I’ll never become

a doctor!

Go and put on your

best dress, Thandi.

Grandfather! We have an appointment!

... and I say to you, we are all travellers on the road of

life. ...Blah... Blah...

At that moment in Hillbrow...

An hour later...

Meanwhile... NEXT ISSUE:

The headmaster, Mr Sidney Mabaso, finally finishes his speech. But more surprises await the boys when they meet their strange teachers. And Thandi gets a shock when she realises her grandfather is taking her to her new school...
