July / August 2023

We ran our first Online Music Talent Competition this year, with prizes awarded to the value of R8000, plus an incredible in-studio session for the winner, sponsored by Machent Management. Our talented winner, Sandile Zitha, is a 21-year-old music enthusiast who hails from Richard’s Bay, KwaZulu Natal, currently an opera student at the University of Cape Town. For Sandile, studying music is not just an academic pursuit; it’s a gift and a pathway to a world filled with the melodies that have saved him from the challenges of his surroundings.

Our second and third Prize winners: Simbongile Ntlahla and Iviwe Bom are both also studying at UCT. Well done to our Prize winners!! We wish you and all of our contestants all the best in your music careers!!
