Pink Porridge and Iswe

These learners qualified for the regional athletics competition. Before they went, they were given lunch of porridge (pap) flavoured with 'Sweet Aid', which coloured it pink. They are eating it from the bowl using leaves for spoons.

This is iswe (ee-sway) which is like sugar cane. You strip away the outer layers and then chew the sweet juice from the    inside part. You spit out the bit you can't eat. It is delicious.
