Hands down, pink if the favored color.

Children wearing backpacks returning from lunch break
Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more. (Dorothy, Wizard of Oz) That may be the case, but one would never know it by looking at the kids’ backpacks in South Africa. America is well represented here by Spiderman, Barbie, Dora the Explorer, Square Bob, Pokeman, and let’s not forget Hannah Montana … to name a few.
Most kids in the lower grades will keep their backpacks on at all times, except perhaps in the classroom. They wear them during lunch, break, and even when going to the toilet. It is a little amusing as they often have absolutely nothing in the backpack.
