Community Projects…
Makukhanye Gospel Choir
|
One of the
ongoing projects is the development of the local talent. Auditions have been held at Nkqubela,
where singers, dancers, artists and writers have come together to reveal
their talents. Some of this local talent has been
showcased during performances for dinner guests throughout the last few
years. On one such occasion in
November 2002, two members of Junger KonzertChor Düsseldorf (JKCD) got to
know Makukhanye Gospel Choir at |
|
Early in 2003 a team of JKCD
members started planning a CD and in November 2003 six team members travelled
to Nkqubela in order to do the recording. Now, the Makukhanye Gospel Choir’s
first CD is available for sale from selected outlets. Contact us for further information or to place your
order. (By buying this CD the work of
Makukhanye Gospel Choir and its members is being directly supported.) “For all the persons involved it has been a very moving experience.
Next to the pure work of recording there was also enough time to get to
know each other and to have an intensive cultural exchange. The (JKCD)team
was welcomed with open arms and openness and learned a lot about the way of
life in the township as well as the necessities and problems of the
adolescents.” For further

Another great
highlight was when Dagmar Berghoff featured the choir on German TV “Heimat in
der Ferne”. |
