Naseerudi Harneker, principal Crescent Primary School
On Southern Mail’s 30th birthday, here follows a tribute
So much good does this newspaper contribute
Positively striving to uplifting community
Its impact being felt throughout the broader society
Every Wednesday comes the Southern Mail
Delivered door-to-door without fail
Nothing escapes this newspaper to report
On politics, education, entertainment and sport
And features such as “What’s On”, “Off My Trolley” and News
Even on consumer issues and Book Reviews
Giving a voice to readers through them writing many a letter
Hoping it will lead to things becoming much better
Southern Mail makes for a good read
Inspiring us to do so many a good deed
Reading Southern Mail keeps you in the know
Not scared to publish what’s going on is a definite no-no
On this momentous occasion of Southern Mail’s 30th Birthday
Heartiest Congratulations we all say!
And may you have many more successes along the way!
