Nkosikhona’s stories for March are somewhat more varied – and lighthearted, looking at how Zulu learners from Magabheni Primary School are putting their dancing skills to the test with some Latin dance moves, as well as how some young Indian children are showing off their skills with traditional Indian dancing.
