Celebrity kids go back to school

Parents pride themselves by posting pictures of their children, wearing their school uniforms, on their first day of school this year. For many, education is seen as a way to ensure a better and brighter future for their families.

South African celebrities shared how their little ones looked on their first day . An interesting fact about this year’s grade 1's is that most were born in 2010, when South Africa hosted the FIFA World Cup.
