Surprise 21st Key, a tradition in South Africa

from Facebook...

Jackie Scheepers Thank you, we surprised Elder Haws with some cake, supper and we had made him a 21st key and he was very happy, he couldn't believe that Ian had made it.

In South Africa, they follow a tradition of presenting a key of gold, silver, or aluminum foil on the 21st birthday. It is a symbol of the person's readiness to unlock the door to his or her future.

Here is a sample, we dont have a picture of the one Ian  made for Elder Haws but will update this when we get it.
