Artists will
be competing against each other as Imbewu Arts and Culture Forum in Partnership
with Mokete Molebatse will be hosting its last event of the year where a Talent Search show will take place and winners walking away with cash prizes.
The purpose
of the Talent Search is to bring about an Artistic revival to the township of
Ekangala and to create jobs for Artist.
“The event
which is also a closing function for Imbewu Arts and Culture Forum aims to
identify and develop artist in and around Ekangala” said Kholofelo Mphago who
is the founder of the Forum, a businessman and an Artist himself. He said that
he had this idea brewing in his mind for years that his community have an Arts
Centre that will create a solid platform or foundation for Artists where they
can express themselves and showcase their talent.
After
speaking to his fellow Artist friends Choreographer Calvin Mampa and DJ Paul
Monama who came through and supported the idea, they formed a Forum which
consist of various Artist from Ekangala who also work as volunteers and are
endorsed by City of Tshwane under Arts and culture Department.
The Talent Search event will be held tomorrow at Masakhane Community Hall in Section F Ekangala (Dark City) from 10 in the morning.
