Bryneven Primary has got raw talent
The learners of Bryneven Primary School in Bryanston put on a jaw-dropping talent show for parents.
Bryneven Primary School hosted learners, parents and staff to a staged festival of talent at this year’s Bryneven’s Got Talent production.
Out of 180 auditions, 33 learners performed in the 23 acts of raw talent who qualified for the finals held at the school on September 28.
Presented by the exuberant Khahliso Nyatlo, this year’s production hosted a star-studded panel of judges – Micasa trumpeter Moshe ‘Mo-T’ Kgasoane, Mrs Gauteng 2024 finalist Kimberley Sobantu-Tshuketana, media personality Elly ‘The Entertainer’ Majola, and Bryneven’s very own music teacher June Clayton.
The show was opened by the previous year’s winners, Chloe Alers and Jenna Biart performing an acrobatic sequence of aerial manoeuvres. The first half before the interval included 10 performances – each as impressive as the last.
Load-shedding kicked in shortly after contestant 10, Ty Van Wijk took to the stage. Van Wijk, showing professionalism beyond his years as a Grade 3 learner, was undeterred by the lights going off and carried on performing as audience members shone their cellphone torches in his direction.
The second half was equally as outstanding as the first. After the interval, Grade 4 learner Tanush Singhal opened the half with guitar skills beyond his years. Eleven acts later, the judges were ready to announce the winners from the two halves of the show.
Grade R learner Chloe-Rita Saad won the first half with her amazing dancing routine and the second half was won by The DC Girls, a modern dance group comprising Grade 6 learners Lwazi Tshabalala, Linathi Ndalasi, Lemo Nkoane and Chantel Chauke. The winners from either half were awarded R1 500 per winner.
