[@francinescott7405]

Outstanding calibre of athletes representing HERD & South Africa for the Games. Flag bearing honours at closing ceremonies should go to Fishan. A sublime performance!! Kudos to all who participated.

[@katieciccoianni4415]

That was such an AMAZING/FUN video!!!! Thank you Adine and all the Carers and most especially the beautiful elephants of the Herd!

If king of the hill was an Olympic event, then Lammie would be the champion. She knew exactly how to play it, and Khanyisa didn't have a chance.
