“On the 27th of February every year, South Africans celebrate a traditional dessert loved and enjoyed by many – The Milk Tart or Melktert,” said Arboretum Primary.

“Arrie [the school mascot] went out today to say thank you to some of our Heroes in town with a delicious Milk Tart.”

Arrie presented the local heroes with milk tart and a well-deserved certificate.

The recipients this year included: Dr Jurgen Otto at the Arboretum Veterinary Clinic; a diving unit; NSRI: Station Commander Bernard Minnie, newspaper journalists and hospital emergency staff.
