This competition, dedicated to showcasing the talent of young individuals between the ages of 13 and 21 in Mthatha, focuses on music and dance as reported by News 24.

Approximately 100 hopeful participants across Mthatha attended the auditions to demonstrate their skills and passion for music and dance. The public will determine the final decision on the winners in both categories.
