We hope all eligible young people can take advantage of this amazing life-changing opportunity.”
On the judging panel will be some of the industry’s great acts such as, Zaza Mokheti, Kholeka Dubula, representatives from Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO), composers, authors and Publishers Association of South Africa, as well as Sheer Publishing.
Auditions will start at 8am at Germiston Theatre on President Street in Germiston.
