Al het drie oud-Kwaggas, Gert van Tonder, Pieter Koen en Johan Botha, reeds 66 jaar gelede saam op dieselfde skoolbanke gesit, het hulle verlede week herinneringe van daardie tyd opgediep asof dit gister was.

- Eugene Gunning

Van Tonder (84) en Koen (84) wat beide hoë hoogtes in die musiekwêreld bereik het en Botha (82) wat sy merk gemaak het in onderwyskringe, het land en sand gesels. Dit was 'n mini-reünie in die kleine. Hulle was in 1959 saam in matriek.

Saam met hulle was Chris Hattingh wat later jare diep spore as onderwyser by Hoërskool Outeniqua getrap het. Hattingh was onder meer onderhoof by die skool en het in 2023 aan die spits gestaan van die skool se baie suksesvolle 100-jarige feesvieringe.

Hulle het groot lof gehad vir die rol wat die skool in hul lewens gespeel het.
