On the 21 st of September, the Law Faculty canteen was filled with the sweet sounds of baila. Presenting our very own version of a ‘paduru party’, we managed to organize ‘Saajje’ an evening filled with music, laughter and fun. Open to all students of the Law Faculty, we had talented musicians take to the floor and made everyone sway to some well-known tunes. Starting off with some classics such as Surangani , Mage Pale Andura Nasanna and Kandy Lamissi the evening ended with an array of more modern hit songs.

Although it was a small scale event, it was successful in bringing together club members and increased their friendship and fellowship. Saajje proved to be a wonderful night and a much-needed break for all the law students.
