Choir keeps community together

The Kutloanong Spiritual Youth Choir K.S.Y.C known as the home of golden voices, is a choir that gives a platform to young and old people in Matjhabeng to showcase their talents through music and singing.

The group currently has a crew of 56 members.

The group was established on November 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic after the founder, Caswell Mogotsi, saw how high the unemployment rate is, teenage pregnancy and social ills affecting his community.

On 2 May 2021 the choir held a show outside the Matjhabeng municipal offices which was a success, but the team had a challenge of transportation as most of the members are unemployed.

They hosted one of the top choirs in the Free state, The Rock Spiritual choir in 2021 – they had challenges like uniforms, catering and transportation expenses, but still managed to host a successful show.

In December 2022 K.S.Y.C won their first competition and a record deal where they recorded their first album Umoya wam which will be out soon.

Anyone who would like to assist the choir can visit their Facebook page or contact Mogotsi on 064-039-3907.
