According to Clansina Rathebe, one of the founding members, the group meets weekly or fortnightly for rehearsals.
The members, aged 60 and older, come from diverse backgrounds within the community.
“We also intend to travel the country – and even the world, when opportunities arise—encouraging other older persons and communities that, even in old age, we can still bear fruit and remain fresh and flourishing by the grace of God.”
