Gcina Sebeko (21) is doing a Postgraduate Certificate in Education in her forth year at Wits. She said she donned her bright bottoms because “It felt like a sunny day and I woke up very happy. It was my mom’s birthdy yesterday.”

Where’d you get your drip from Gcina? #IGotItFromMyMama 
Caslian Isaacs (19) is in her first year of a BA in Media Studies and International Relations. She wore her bright white longs because she “wanted to feel free today.” She went on to say “The pants are super loose and its almost like a skirt and I like that”
Feel free to keep dropping that drip.
Elias Judin (20) is in his second-year of BSc Computer Science and Applied Math. He called his pants “pajama pants” and described them as “super chilled, man.” The way you imagined he said it, is exactly the way he did.
Musa Mathebula (19) is in his first year of BSc Biological Science and sported these sweatpants for an exam, “I just wore them because they’re comfortable and I am writing” he said.
If the exam was on drip, 10/10 for the lad.
Karabo Rampai (23) might be in his first year of LLB but he looks like he has a PhD in DRIP (He doesn’t though, we asked). When asked why he dripped so hard, he answered casually “It’s an average day, let me just put [on] an all black ensemble and why not?” The drip he dropped was so hard that his friends couldn’t contain themselves.
Kaydon Minnaar (18), a first-year BA Fine Art student makes his drip look so effortless. When asked why he dropped this drip, he answered “Just because. It was a morning move”

Wits Vuvuzela student journalist Tshepo Thaela meets some of the enthusiastic runners, cyclists and walkers of Wierda Park in Centurion.
