A festival of talent will be on display when finalists selected from 63 schools in Mpumalanga take part in a school version of “South Africa’s got Talent” in Acornhoek on June 15.
Titled the Old Mutual Ubuntu Earth Festival, the competition is designed to encourage learners to explore, understand and protect the environment.
The judges will rate the learners on how effectively they weave in a key Ubuntu Earth challenge or opportunity (social or economic) into their performance.
The acts can either be a song (solo, group and choral) or poetry (classic and free-style).
Following the regional talent search (auditions), during which about 63 local schools are invited to submit Ubuntu Earth performances for adjudication. The 63 performances will be whittled down to between 10 and 15, and those acts are the ones that will take part in the regional festival.
Old Mutual sponsorship manager Bandile Mngoma says: “We’re excited about this opportunity to help raise awareness of environmental issues among our youth through the performing arts.”
He adds that he looks forward to seeing how the students creatively interpret and engage with the environment theme.
Venues for the regional competitions:
- 15 June 2016 – Acornhoek, Mpumalanga
- 9 August 2016 – Magaliesberg, Gauteng
