Although Miss South Africa was not able to attend the show, her parents, Pastor Moses and Betty Nokeri, were there to watch the concert. Ndavi sent a video thanking the school for hosting an event showing her travels during her reign. According to the head of the department, Elmarie Moolman, the last concert was hosted before the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I’m extremely proud of my learners and team of teachers, they did a great job.” She said preparing for the concert took many days of hard work. “I want to thank the parents for their support, Ndavi Nokeri, and everyone who supported the show,” she concluded.
