Spokesperson and graphic designer at KUCA, Thoka Moyahabo, said: “The aim of our programme is to nurture children in their talent.
“We want to showcase their talents in terms of arts and also show them that is possible to balance both your talent and academics.”
Parents and teachers came out in numbers to show support and celebrate the milestone of the young ones.
The founder of KUCA, Khanyisile Masongwa, said their goal as Khula Unqobe Creative Arts is to evolve into a creative arts school that contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
“We aim to strengthen our township economy, improve our environment and empower education through our program.
“An African proverb says it takes a village to raise a child, so we need your support to help build a community that provides a lasting legacy for our children and future children,” said Masongwa.

Little People Day Care Centre principal Zandi Ntsime told Soweto Urban News that she is so proud of KUCA for building confidence in the young ones and helping them acknowledge their talents.
“KUCA is giving underprivileged children from a black community an opportunity to shine, we grew up not knowing about arts, we never took it seriously so seeing how arts can be important to our kids is so amazing, the poems and dramas they performed for us today show the love that our children have for arts,” she said.
