The Matric Dance/ The Night that Never Was

The Matric Dance is one of the signifiers of matric along with matric jackets, special seating in assembly, and other actions and moments that signify the difference between matrics and the rest of the student body. In 2020 many schools had to forfeit this night. In this episode Mihlali tells us about the matric dance she had fantasized about all year.

This podcast was made to accompany the digital WhatsApp exhibition #DearUs, Matric 2020 as part of the Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation festival in October 2020. Read more about the exhibition and the festival here: https://fakugesi.co.za/dearus-matric-2020/
